Had to put in a small reference to the book I recently finished reading….The Book. Very interesting book in my opinion 🙂
Anyway, we are heading home today from Nairobi. It’s been a fun few days of living the city life compared to village life. We stayed up late working on computers and phones because of the incredibly fast internet (still not as fast as you all have in US, but comparably fast for us in the village). I was able to catch a movie in an actual movie theatre! We saw Sherlock Holmes and I thoroughly enjoyed the stop action and slo-mo of the film (ok Robert Downey Jr. wasn’t so bad either!). There aren’t many theaters here in Kenya (approximately 10 in the entire country) so I was lucky to find a theater which actually had a movie I wanted to see – many films are from India and not exactly my type of movie. I got to eat a salad and it was delicious! No lettuce in the village so it’s been about 6 months since my last salad 🙁
The mall we walked around at had Christmas lights up and a cool breeze was blowing at night so it kind of reminded us of Christmas back in Phoenix. Oh and we actually heard Christmas music playing in the stores! It really almost brought tears to my eyes…darn that Frosty the Snowman!
That’s why you haven’t heard from me the past few days. We were actually going to stay until tomorrow but decided to head home to prepare for the big Christmas dinner with the kids at C4KK. I have a feeling this will be like no other Christmas for them and I would like to thank God here and now for the providence to allow this to happen.
In case I don’t get back on the blog for a few days….have a very blessed Christmas celebrating God’s gift to us.
