Hello friends! I don’t know if you knew this but…. I’m in Kenya. I’m sorry its taken such a long time for me to update. As you have read from some of the other blogs TIA is an abbreviation we live by here. Yes, This Is Africa. Internet is hard to come by and so are showers. But, I am having such an amazing time and wouldn’t change a thing! As soon as we got to Kijabe we were informed that we would be spending the next two weeks visiting the Massai and Turkana tribes. We would have one day to rest and then it was off into the African bush to live with each of...

Hello Everyone!!             It’s so great to be back in Kijabe after a week out in the bush. A few fun things I have learned so far in Africa: 1. I have mastered the art of the squatie pottie. Yes, there is a technique, and I’m so thankful for all those years of camping as a child where I practiced the pop-and-squat method (I’d like to take a moment to thank my Mom and Dad) 2.  Not everywhere in the world is as big on personal hygiene as America, and you pretty much learn to get over that fast....

It didn’t take too long before we were told that we were headed out to the bush for the week. (the bush is like the country, pretty much the middle of no where with not much civilization around for miles.) I was nervous to leave so soon because we had just arrived and I...

This past week we went out to a Masaai tribe in an area called Tangi-tatu. We lived in tents inside of the local church, with a squatty potty near by. The days were really long, but encouraging. There were no showers, and my clothes have gotten pretty dirty, but everyone else smells so it doesn’t matter. It was hard to stay motivated the last couple of days, but the people were a huge inspiration. Most of the days we did hut to hut evangelism in the mornings. I was expecting to come into an environment devoid of faith, however I found disciples of Christ at nearly ever home...
