Supa!! (All my Kiswahili studies are for not right now, as Im having to speak kimaasai!)
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am here. Its so amazing!! We went to the schools today to visit and the kids are excited to see new faces and full of energy. None of them could pronounce my name, which I thought was cute. So Im told I need a Maasai name, which CoCo will give me soon.
Tomorrow I start my orientation, and then will know where I will be and what I will be doing. Right now Im in Ngong Hills, southwest of Nairobi. Its very very dry. One of the girls who has been here for a few months is working on a project to get a water tank installed in one of the villages, and should be done by the end of the month. Then they'll be a big party!
I already feel sooo blessed to be here. Its nothing and everything like I thought it would be- all at the same time. God is good.
Ok, Ill let you guys know more about whats going on..... when it happens.
Love

PS- Last night, Daniel, our coordinator, picked us up from the airport. One of the guy volunteers was talking about going on a walking safari and walking to a mountain (we might do this next week!) and Daniel said, No! The lions will get you if you sleep outside! Kevin said, I have a spear! Dan says, Can you kill 2 lions with 1 spear?
So epic.....
