Kenya has been absolutley amazing. The people here are so friendly and are always welcoming us where ever we go. Tomorro is a big day as we head into a slum, we are also doing our first worship set for the local people. Although this is slightley nerve racking I am super excited to see how it turns out.
Today we visited the nest, which is pretty much an orphanage for children abondoned around Nairobi area. Just hearing about the kid's stories from the nest helpers made my heart soft and really made me realize that this group is here for a reason. As our group helped the 40 or so kids in a VBS lesson and craft we really got to connect with the kids there. They were all cheerful and happy to just have visitors. All of these days have been far more memorable then I could have imagined and I am so thankful to be here.
This time we've spent here has made me think of primarily one thing. And that's how amazing it is that we, being from across the world share a common passion for God with these Kenyans who live so differently from us. Its trully an encouraging and amazing thing.
