Me, Esther, and Stacey
Today we went to church, and then broke off into groups of 2 and 3 to have lunch with different families in the congregation. Before we had been paired off, a 9 yr old girl had sort of taken a liking to me, so our teacher said I should go with her family. She immediately grabbed my hand and lead me to her house, with her family in tow behind us. A bunch of their neighbors came and had lunch with us, so me and the other girl I was with, Stacey, hung out with all of the girls. There were two that were around our age, and the 9 yr old and an 11 yr old. One of the older girls started trying to teach us some Kiswahili words, but the only ones I remember are "kuku" which means hen, and "mbwa" which is dog. The girls then took us out around their farm. They grow coffee, bananas, beans, and some other things. As we were walking around, more little kids accumulated, and I was holding at least one random kid's hand at all times. It was good though because they knew where it was OK to walk, so I could easily follow them. Yep, that was about it for today.

I am so jelous, and proud of you. I love kids, and I love sunflower seeds, and I love coffee, and I miss crazy busy markets. I hope you keep up the blogging, so you have something to hold on to, I have tried to in the past and failed, only to regret it. Keep it up! You are a badass.
