Most of these refer to our life in the bush of Africa for the first six weeks of our trip. Life in the bush of Kenya living with tribes tends to be pretty entertaining… who knew?!
DID YOU KNOW…
– You can hydro-plane on gravel
– Pregnant women give birth and home and do yard work in between contractions
– We are all qualified to teach any grade any subject here in Africa
– I MILKED A CAMEL! (who knew that was even possible..?) and a goat.
– In the African bush its necessary to watch closely where you walk beacuse your surrounded by trees and
shrubs with 2 1/2'' thorns… ouch.
– If there's a baby around there's a baked breast close by. Or maybe two.. consdiering the babies just share them.
– Emily Chambers likes cats like some people like sports.
– Afircan children poke our arm fat and laugh because its not funny enough that were white… were all fat too. If that doesn't make you self concious I don't know what will.
– When we get bored our favorite things to do our cut hair, pierce ears, or cut off skin tags.
– We eat more carbs in a day than most people do in an entire month.
– Every Kenyan is related to Obama
– I ate goat slaughtered by one of my teammates… and I liked it :/
– It is possible to get used to a squatie… who says girls can't pee standing up?!
– Nikki Hiers will birth thirteen children… and love it.
– When having circle time at preschools its not uncommon for a child to just urinate right there
– When some people are bored they read or journal… but when Emily Gaudian is bored she plucks her eyebrows.
– American/Canadian hair can double as eyebrow/sideburn/moustche extentions for Kenyan women and a rattail extention for Neal
– Diretions consis of "hang left at the cow" or "left at the twig 12 paces in front of the Keisha tree"
– Kenyans drink chai like its their job… like they literally have regular "chai breaks" in their work
– Mama Margaret always asks us to sing Might To Save beause when you feel say you can listen to that song and feel happy 🙂
– Afircan children together sing and praise God louder and as beautiuful as a worship band in church
– When in the African bush for six weeks your haven becomes your 1 1/2'' sleeiping pad and dirty/holy/10yr old sleeping bag
– When Colton doesn't bathe for two weeks, wears the same clothes, hasn't shaved in a month and a halft, and smells like bronzing lotion, we still accept him as a brother.
– It is possible.. (actually it always happens) for a Kenyan who speaks fluent English to misunderstand every single word Breanne Coe says.
