Started off the day well. First night and only woke up once. definetly happy about that.
Headed to to church and heard a sermon from a indian man named sukesh. It was a really good sermon. He used the testimony of paul as the lesson and talked about repentance, faith, and the difference between belief in God and believing God. He used some examples from jonah for repentance and i was really happy to see that he was not afraid to preach about how God was not just a happy, loving, never angry God. Nice to know that the gospel is not getting dumbed down like it is in the states.
Met some really fun people named, claire, gordon, and vincentm and another kid from rwanda whose name escapes me. They came up and talked to me so that was a nice gesture :)
After church played soccer with some of the kids. That was really fun. A couple of the boys were quite good and there celebrations were hilarious.
After the service we went to pick up some vegetables a lady named pam buys for paul at the market, then went to pick up some mail and eat.
We got indian food and it tasted great but made me feel slightly queasy. I had some amazing passion fruit juice though and some actually quite terrible mint pineapple. yuck.
Headed home after that but not without alot of traffic coming the other way because there was a rally car race. It was cool to see a buncha nice cars but strange to see them in this country where there are so many poor.

it sounds like there's alot of indian people and food, true? is that the church you're going to be going to while you're there? how far is the church from the camp? how many of they kenyan people you've met speak english, is it different than ours? sorry for all the questions!
Hey Zach. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself. Nice job updating this site so far. It's kind of like GB... it was dismal writing in our journals at the time but now im so glad we did. Are you loving your camera? Stay out of trouble champ. Praying for you.

@ tori
there are quite a few indian people, israeli, and chinese. They are building alot of the roads around here and doing contracting for construction.
church is about an hour drive from the camp so it's quite an adventure going there and back.
Everyone speaks english, most people are fluent. they have a bit of accent so it takes time getting used to.
@lensch
