So, I'm back from Mombasa. It was definitely an interesting experience...and I'm so glad to be back in Nairobi. In Mombasa, we stayed at Christine's sister's house. It was a one-room house without a bathroom, kitchen, power, or water. We went in the bus for about 9 hours on Tuesday night and arrived early Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, we went to the beach and I went swimming and body surfing and it was great!! On Thursday and Friday, we just went into Mombasa town and did some shopping. Overall, Mombasa was good, but I think next time I would definitely stay somewhere different and would hopefully get to spend more time at the beach.
Today I hung out with my friends Wema and Nancy because I missed them so much when I was gone. First, Wema and I went to his Radicals 4 Christ practice. Radicals 4 Christ is a youth choir (people out of high school) that organizes church services on Friday nights. I'm getting to know all the members of the choir well and really enjoy singing and dancing with them. I'm even starting to learn most of the Swahili songs, so I can join in almost all the time. If I could go to their practice every day, I would because that's where I find God in this place.
Tomorrow, Injili Mission Church (Wema's dad's church) is having a fundraising service for their new building. Please pray that God blesses this family and their mission for the church. Wema's family has really helped me here and I feel that their house is a home away from home for me.
