Dancing

Everything has still been going really well here and I've been enjoying some more new cultural experiences. Last week I went to a different school - Maximum Impact, which is pretty close to Candlelight and my house. I taught class 8 science for two days, which was really good. They were learning about making work easier by using tools such as levers, wheelbarrows, and pulleys. I enjoyed it because I really felt like they were understanding the material, and I also understood the material, which always helps. I also taught class 1 Kiswahili, which was interesting. I managed to teach them some shapes and also told them a little bit about my family and where I come from (in Swahili, of course).
Today I went to church with everyone from the house and I really enjoyed it. The church is very small, and only about 4 months old. After that, I went to a prewedding, which is basically an event to raise money to pay for a wedding. It was really interesting and I enjoyed dancing and hanging out with Nancy. I think I had better practice dancing every chance I get since I'll be going to at least one wedding in August. It's interesting because they don't just ask you for money, they really get you to pay small amounts a number of times. Like they would say, "Sarah, buy this napkin for 100 shillings" and then 15 minutes later, "Sarah, you're a young person, give 20 shillings." Luckily, my friends explained what would happen before we got there, so I was prepared.

Please pray that my relationships continue to grow deeper as I finish up my first month here.
