Days 4-5

Yesterday was Sunday, so we went to the RVA church. RVA (Rift Valley Academy) is the missionary boarding school. It was pretty neat because it was a baptismal service. After church Aly and I came back to our house to get a few things before going to spend the afternoon at the Mendonsa’s. We pretty much just hung out all afternoon. Emily taught us a new game called blokus, it was fun but somehow she managed to win every time! We then ate dinner with all of them.
Today, we went to the Mendonsa’s and Aly had a Swahili lesson while I took a nice warm shower for once! When Julie got home from school, we all went down the Naomi’s Village to check on the guys and see how things were going. Then we made our way over to the IDP camp.
Julie brought a big parachute and balloons to let the kids play with. She also brought fingernail polish and we painted the mother’s fingers. The children had a blast with the balloons; however, when they popped many of them cried.
We returned about an hour ago, and are now going to go for a walk before we head back over to the Mendonsa’s for dinner.
Our walk was quite delightful! Aly and I had a great talk as we walked and explored! Now we are getting ready for supper, which is Mexican spaghetti!
