Hello! It’s Marla

Ok, My webmail doesn’t work in Kenya so I dont have a password for my AIM blog…. that means I’ll be posting under other people’s blogs… i hope you all find my disguised writing!   Kenya is amazing, these people are so hospitable and every has such a gentle heart.  My highlight so far has been the worship.  Worship here has been so genuine and truly beautiful.  I am growing so much in my faith and these relationships are forming so fast.  God has really been working though our team.  The other day we went into the community and talked with people on the street...

Life in Kenya

Here’s a quick update on how the Real Life-Kenya Team is doing.   So we have been in Nairobi, Kenya for about 6 days now. We have a great team who are very eager to be on these streets meeting people, sharing with them, praying for them. They have blown our minds on how quickly they are to minister to each other when they see the need. They have huge hearts to serve. We’ve officially known each other 9 days, but it feels like years.    Today they went to a school in the slums to teach the children, sing with them, help serve their meals, laugh with them, love...

Hey all! So I wanted to start off by saying that Kenya is so different from America!  HUGE birds in the trees, monkeys in the backyard, they drive on the left side of the road, and their steering wheel is on the right side of the car!  Besides that, Kenya is similar to the US in the sense that we all look out for each other.  Patrick (the most amazing cook!) even cooks vegetarian for me!  I love everything that we have done so far.  Today we worked at a school where I helped some first graders with math (I know, me math?), and helped to cook.  The children were...

  OH wonderful friends and family!     Africa is like nothing I imagined and it is 10 times better! Well not that I thought it was going to be bad but it’s just definitely 10 times different then I expected! We were expecting to sleep in tents and we show up and now we are sleeping indoors on bunk beds! Patrice is a really nice man that makes our breakfast, lunch and dinner! He lets us help him prepare the meals and He creates meals for us that are so delicious! ICC the church we are partnering with has embraced us and has blessed us with buckets of blessings! Our...
