This morning we went to Purpose Driven to interview the Oasis kids that board there to update Oasis' files.
We haven't done interviews for a while and I was honestly happy we were getting to do them again. I interviewed Silas, Abraham, and Irene...
Their stories are incredible and to hear about where they came from and see where they are now is amazing...
One of my favorite parts of the interviews was when I asked Silas if he had gotten in trouble at school and he kind of smiled and said yes and I asked why...He told Manu in Swahili, laughing mind you, that he got in trouble for beating Shaban. I asked why he was laughing and he thought this was funny and he said that he had hit Shaban because Shaban had been beating a younger kid, so Silas hit him and told him that it was wrong. He said that Shaban and him and hadn't been good friends before that but now they are...
I loved hearing Silas story. He has done and seen everything on the street and not in a good way, but to see him now, working hard and doing well in school and actually "setting things right" and having a moral conscience about things just made me happy.
He's got a sweet heart, but you definitely don't want to cross him...

This afternoon was spent at Gilgal High School. I missed going last week because of malaria and was so excited to get to see their faces. I taught a lesson about igneous rocks, (so interesting)and then we talked about the upcoming election in America, tornados, cellars, maps...Their questions were ridiculous!

Tomorrow we leave for Nairobi to pick Katie and Ryanne! Once we pick them up we'll go on safari for a day and be back in Kitale by friday evening...so if our blogs are quiet for a couple days thats why...but well have some great pictures once we get back
