On Wednesday, I traveled to a village called Mairowa. We are starting a school there in January partnering with a Scottsdale Bible Church in Arizona. What an amazing day! I am going to work backwards as I tell you about the day. So my commute home.... I couldn't help but chuckle as I thought about Atlanta traffic and I-85. I know that at times the skyline can be quite beautiful but I think that this commute might be my favorite. Of course, it was a bit long, two hours long that is on dirt roads that have a bit of a bump to them. As we were traveling along reflecting on the day, we happened to notice a group of giraffe. That's right GIRAFFE right outside our window. Unbelievable. That was quickly followed by baboons, monkeys, impala, ostriches, and more giraffes. I left out goats and cows because they are everywhere! The landscape of trees are stunning and all set up against the backdrop of two mountains. Whenever I look at mountains I can't kept help but be in awe of God's majesty! All of these animals roaming free doing their thing as we do ours.
The day in the village was wonderful. I am so excited about the school there. Every time I go to another village, I cannot believe how quickly I fall in love with the children. The sound of their laughter makes my heart want to dance. Wherever you go the children follow. They are so fascinated by wazungu (white people). They all want to touch me. I have a different child on every finger. I sang all the songs that I knew with them and I was trying to think of something else to do with them. I don't know where it came from but I just pulled my shawl over my head and started to chase them. What fun! They giggled with delight and when I would capture one I would tickle them until they could no longer breathe. I can't imagine what I looked like. This crazy white girl running around with a scarf on her head chasing little children!
The day was so full and there is so much more to tell you but Iwill save that for later.
Thank you all so much for your prayers!
