  • got used to walking everywhere or taking a bota!
  • seen manafestations (evil spirits) leaving the body
  • seen kids in the orphanage with so much hope when we enter the place
  • got used to seeing africans so every time i see a white person i stare
  • forgotton what an iced cold water tastes like
  • played soccer with kids who sniff glue just to fill their need of hunger
  • gone into 1 room mud houses and found them loving jesus more than you could imagine
  • learned part of swahilli language (basic terms)
  • seen sick people in a hospital and then the next day see them getting ready to go home
  • loved the kids who yell my name and then run and jump into my arms almost every night
