Jambo Rafiki!

Hello friends!! :)

I am currently in Africa. Moshi, Tanzania actually.
the flights and travel were pretty gruesome.
Well.... actually I slept the whole flight from Atlanta ----> London...
Once in London, we took the "tube" (aka subway, Marta, metro) to a quaint little town, and stayed in a really cute little town house. We got to eat PORTUGUESE IN LONDON! what!? it was amazing though!
We were able to go to an awesome little church where we spent about an hour praying, then the church prayed over each one of us, and we got to pray over them... that was awesome. They did sort of prophetic prayers, and hit the nail on the head with each one of us.

The flight from London to Nairobi, Kenya was..... LONG. the man next to me had really stinky breath, and i couldn't sleep. of course.

I was way too emotional about not being able to sit with the group. lol. both flights they all had seats together, and both times, i didn't. lol. But a girl switched with me the first flight :)


Anyways... So once in Nairobi, we stayed at an interesting hotel for the night, then in the morning took a bus 9 HOURSSSSSSS to Moshi.

I saw some pretty cool things.

herd of cows in the middle of the road...
Masai next to businessmen... beautiful mountains.... markets and mud huts..

ahh it was so cool.
I tried to sleep as much as I could but it was a pretty uncomfortable ride.. regardless, I'm so glad I got to experience it.

Once In Moshi, we were taken to a cool little house of our host, named Theresa. She's the bomb.com

She's an american who actually runs an organization called Make A Difference Now, which is educating children and teens, and also working in a few orphanages. We actually get to go to one of the orphanages today!! :D I'm so pumped to be able to hold those babies and play with them!!

We are going to get to do some one on one english with the kids, help make bracelets for the organization, play sports, and also get to organize a library?

We're at a internet cafe now, and going to walk around the market a bit!

This morning we all got to help out with making breakfast!! :D Cody got to make scrambled eggs, i chopped tomatoes, Alanna chopped advocados and I Lauren help set the table. we got some fresh mangos and passion fruit along with our eggs and toast and juice, coffee, milk, and tea!

(BTW THE COFFEE IS AMAZING! it has CINNAMON!)

but I only have about 3 minutes left on this computer (its only less than a dollar to use the comp for 30 mins!)

anways, just know we're having a blast and we're going into the schools, churches and orphanages starting TODAY!!

keep us in your prayers!

we love you!!!


Kwahuri!!
