This is some of my family the last night I spent with them..thursday night. It was a good night overall, and I took them all out in front of the house to give them their gifts for being so hospitable. if you can tell, 2 of them are wearing Geneva shirts...they just loved it..From the left of the picture is Alice, an aunt, my sister tina, my brother stanley, sister liz, mama, some lady i don't know, and the two boys, enoch and david are in the front of the pic. We had a good last night, but just to tell you honestly, i think I've come to an interesting conclusion. Towards the end, i feel like my sister liz and I got close..at least I feel she saw me as more than a muzungu, but I don't think the rest did, even though they were so hospitable and nice. And, I'm not upset about it all. I asked the Lord for a learning experience and I got it...i learned soooo much by being with them and asking them questions, and doing really awkward things and feeling very frustrated at times...all these provided so much learning from me, and I'm very thankful for that, even if it was hard at times. I do love my family and will probably visit them when I can, but they are a 45 minute walk from campus, so we'll see. Anyways, thanks so much for your prayers cause I know so many were praying for me and that the Lord would teach me through this homestay time, so thank you. Now, these next pictures and postings you have to start at the bottom one with the picture of the river...if you don't start there, it may get confusing. Oh, and one more thing...if you read my blog, please comment on it, even if it's a small comment, cause I LOVE to read what you think or just how you are doing, ok? Thanks for those of you who have commented...your encouragement uplifts my soul!! love you all!!!!
