Like I was just here!

Hello everyone! It's been over a week here in Kenya and Pam and I are doing great! According to everyone here I am fatter than last year and braver, and if I visit one more time they will give me a house and I will be a true Kenyan! The feeling of being back here is surreal because it feels as if I never left! Dorothy has found out she has high blood pressure and is letting us do some cooking and cleaning to help out - she seems a little bit older but still has her spunk!

Yesterday we gave out some clothes and toys and things to the kids at school and at the feeding center and that went really well. We are taking lot's of videos and pictures. The feeding center has some new chickens, supplies, a cleaner look, fixed roof, the inside has been expanded, and an old building has turned into a makeshift clinic. Lot's of great changes thanks to the generous help of friends and family!

This post is going to be brief because we are spending as little time as possible in town and as much time as possible with Dorothy, the orphanage, school, and kids.

We are leaving Kisumu on Thursday morning and it will be really sad but I know I will be back again as soon as possible! Then on Friday morning we are departing from Nairobi for a three day tour at Amboseli National Park in Southern Kenya. After that, we are in Arusha, Tanzania for one night, then Moshi for a few days, then Dar on the coast, then Zanzibar (Grandpa - these details are especially for you!).

Words can't even describe the joy, kindness, sense of humor, and welcomness I have always felt in this little piece of paradise. I love travelling and nothing can beat these experiences! It's so nice to have someone from home experience it all over again with me!

There have been countless hysterical moments where I thought I was going to die of laughter, and we have some really great stories - you'll have to find me back home to hear some of them!

Pam and I spent two hours washing our clothes this morning, we visited with the kids, we are going to leave town and make some Mandazi (donughts!), and relax with Dorothy!

Peace!
