I love falling asleep to the sound of rain on my little tin roof, the sound of my mom praying at her bedside, and the sound of livestock in the background
I love waking up to Nelson, milking the cows, to my breakfast of fresh fruit, I love waking up excited for the day, excited to be in the midst of hundreds of amazing children
I love walking to school. I love weaving up the mountain over the red clay. I love the view of the lake and the city below. I love the women who greet me while balancing buckets of water on their heads, the men who murmer a mixture of english swahili and lou greetings at me, the kids who run to hold my hand, give me a hug
I love the feeling of walking into a classroom, being called to come into the class, learning, growing, laughing, crying, playing, singing, and dancing with hundreds of kids each day - I love
I love lunch time at the school, the orphanage, and my home. I love that I have gained three pounds and everyday my mom tells me how beautiful I am becoming.
to be continued...(I love that my friend just called me and wants to buy lunch for me right now!...lol)
