I'm home...

So, I got home on Friday night and it's weird to be back. I'm still not really sure how to describe what I'm feeling. Maybe in a few days I'll be able to write a better 'summing up' post.

My last few weeks in Kenya were great! I was able to hang out with my friends a lot and build deeper relationships with different families. My last few days were so wonderful, I can't even explain the love I felt from everyone. On Tuesday, I was able to spend the day with Fadhili in town. We went to City Park in Nairobi to hang out with the kids from Sunflower. Fadhili teaches them guitar and I guess last week they had a 'Sunflower week' since the kids were off of school (it kind of reminds me of summer camp). We just hung out at the park and then sang some songs. haha, they made me sing a song...and I chose one that I learned while I was in Kenya called 'I Want to Be More Like You.' It goes like this: 'I wanna be more like you, Jesus. I wanna be more like you. Lord, I want to be more like you. I want to be a vessel that you work through. I want to be more like you.' (and then the same words, but in Swahili - and I've actually learned all of it). Somehow that became my song a few weeks ago and I love it! After hanging out with the kids, we went to Fadhili's practice. On Friday, he had a concert and I couldn't go because of coming home, so he let me listen in to a practice. It was really good to hear his music - he's so talented!

Then on Wednesday, I went to Nancy's house in the morning and Radicals practice in the afternoon. Radicals practice was really great! They wrote the words down to some songs since they don't have song books or anything. Then, we sang and then they had a goodbye party for me. It was so sweet of them - I miss them all a lot. For dinner, I had been invited to Wema's house, which was great. I showed up there around 8 and found a bunch of people there for fellowship (people from different churches getting together just for a time of sharing). I joined in the fellowship and then we ate dinner. Mama Wema had cooked cornbread just for me and it was so good! But then I had to say goodbye to them...it was so sad...

And then that was the end of my trip...
