I'm feeling as if I can say I've been in Kenya for a week, because in reality it feels as if I have been in Kenya for a month! Time moves so differently here and I think I had forgotten that an American minute is a Kenyan hour (or day sometimes).
It's been so fun being back in Kenya and remembering all the reasons why I'm in love with this place and the people here. Even now it is raining outside and there is nothing the world that sounds the same as Kenyan rain (i.e. rain accompanied by an occasional mooing cow or squawking chicken, ect.). I've loved getting to reunite with so many pieces of my heart, but i will admit that I've been missing the pieces that stayed at home in Georgia. I think the miss has been bigger this trip because I know that it will be longer before I will be home again. Still, I am so happy to be here and I am excited for what God has planned for me!!
Tomorrow will be my first day at the preschool and I truly can't wait to meet all my new little ones!!! I'm terrified of not knowing enough Swahili to have long conversations with them, but I know that I'll learn from them even as they learn English from me! I can't wait to get to write all about them later!! :)
