Vacation Week in Kajiado :)

Well we just got back from our vacation week in Kajiado (Maasai land). It was a GREAT week. We stayed at a house with Pastor Josiah and his wife Sarah. They were amazing hosts. By the end of the week we all felt like part of their family. We brought with us lots of rain. The moment we arrived at the pastor’s house, it started pouring. We ran inside and Sarah served us some of the best tea we have had this summer. We sat inside their house and listened to the rain on the roof. Katie Lane was in heaven…she loves thunderstorms. The whole week was very relaxing. We reflected on the summer and ate some of the most delicious food in this world. Sarah was an incredible cook. She cooked us pancakes, rice, beans, chapatti, tea, coco, and many more delicious things. My favorite was the chapatti. Those things are officially my new favorite food:) Sarah taught us how to make them…good thing…otherwise I might have had chapatti withdrawals when I got back to the states. During the day we spent time with God, went on walks, and did a little bit of work. On one of our walks we saw about 10 giraffes! They were just walking around in the wild. They are such cool animals! At night we sat around the campfire to eat dinner, drink coco, and look at the stars. The stars were amazing. We saw so many shooting starts! So cool! Elise and Russell counted and they saw 15 in one night! Wow:) Every time I look at the stars it reminds me that God is so big. The night sky is so beautiful and carefully designed, and God took even more care as he was designing us. Cool! This week is a week to close up lose ends and prepare to come back to the states. I know that I am sad to leave, but I am really looking forward to seeing my family and friends! I’ll see you guys in less than 2 weeks☺ Love you all!

PS: I am not sure we mentioned this yet in the blog, but before we left for Makueni and Kajiado our team went to see HARRY POTTER! I’m slightly obsessed with Harry Potter, so I was SO excited to see the movie…in Africa. It was amazing! ☺
