It just gets better with time

Well my title says it all.On Wednesday we learned all of the different camp chants and I think it finally hit me that I was in Africa. We got to go on a good ole American cookout that night but it wasn't American for long because one bite into the awkwardly long hot dogs we realized this could easily be dog. As we laughed at each others faces we gladly forced em down. We got a chance to go night swinging off of the huge swing connected to the ropes course. Getting up there on the ledge was breath taking because you could see the whole city clear as day. After swinging we realized that one of our friends had found a camillion. I named him Gilbert. He was our friend




Thursday we had the chance to go rock climbing on one of the main cliffs close to camp. I will let the pictures tell all.

Talk about some amazing quiet time

Today we went to the market and spent the morning shopping around buying and trading.. It was so cool to see the different things that they made by hand.. We were told to hold off buying most of our stuff until the end of summer but it was just too hard to say no to some of the vender's. They were so entertining because they all wanted to shake your hand and make sure that you knew that they were your friend. They would look at your eyes at all times and if you showed any type of interst in anything, they made sure it was up in your face. The negotiation process was a whole other story as well. I was told by a couple Kenyan friends to give them one quarter of what they were asking for and if they didn't take it walk away and they will chase you yelling, "ok ok ok my friend". Working with shillings and trying to convert that into dollars made the process just more entertaining. I got pretty good at it and came away with some pretty cool things.


I am loving the land and can't wait for the kids to show up on Sunday. I found out last night that I am the Counselor for the oldest Mens cabin and my co counselor is one of the guys I have became real close with. We leave on Monday for a 4 day long adventure into the wilderness. We will be white water rafting, rock climbing, paint balling, and having devotionals ontop of the cliff that we took pictures on. I am in the process of coming up witha couple of different devotionals and can't wait to let the campers get to see Gods amazing view from a top.
