Sleepover!

So I have a lot to blog about, the last couple days have been tons of fun. Even though It seems as though we have somewhat of a regular schedule now, nothing is ever the same. Theres always something different that happens…

Friday we went to a place called Discover to Recover, which is a center for children who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. We will go there almost every Friday for the whole day and do whatever they need for us to do. The last 2 Fridays they havn’t had much for us to do because the woman who runs it, Patricia Sawa, has been out of town. Patricia is an amazing woman who has HIV and travels all around the world speaking and counseling people on the topic of HIV. She really is truly an amazing woman. So this Friday was split up and Caroline, Megan and I helped cook their lunch, and Allison helped with office work and Chris taught and played with the kids…
We got to peel the potatoes, cut the onions & tomatoes, and lucky me I got to cut up the meat~fat, bone & all...


Later that night we went to Ben & Christine’s, who are a couple we will be working with on Wednesdays as well as some other random ministry opportunities. They invited us over for a good old fashioned sleepover...



They have 3 children of their own as well as take care of 4 orphans. I really enjoy them and love the work they are doing here. Ben is a pastor and a teacher and travels all over eastern Africa setting up schools as well as speaking and apparently he’s a master at hanging mosquito nets…He’s one of my favorites…




They made such a delicious dinner, all of my favorites were present…fried potatoes, chipati and intestines…yikes! Dinner would not have been complete without Home Alone 2: Lost in New York…

We like to snuggle...

Clinton & Caleb...

This morning we woke up and decided we wanted to go into town to buy scarves. What made it even better was that we had planned on just going home after our slumber party so we never brought a change of clothes, hence having to go into town in our PJ’s and unwashed faces. Wait it gets better, the ENTIRE family decided they wanted to go too…
But it was fun, we became a LOT closer as a result…


This afternoon was awesome. We finally got to see some of the Oasis kids since they started school. We met at Milimani school just down the street from our house…


Steward and I played basketball…


This is his idea of defense…
