Thursday
Well tonight is my last night here in Mombasa. It is weird to think at this time tomorrow I will be in Nairobi on the way back to Texas. I have been blessed with my month here with Chris and Lisa and have met so many cool people and have made long life friends. I am excited for what the Lord brings when I get back to America and can not wait until the next time I return to Kenya.
I have learned a lot about myself and a lot of where the the Lord is leading me and wants me. I know He wants me in the mission field but as for now, I just need to always have my ears open of where He wants me to be.
SO, today was an amazing day. Chris and I went to the market this morning and what a rush that was! I literally almost got knocked out by sacks of potatoes a countless amount of times. By the end of our market trip, my reflexes were pretty fast. haha but it was so much fun! I love all the people and talking to them and getting fresh fruits and veggies! yum
After we went to the LARGEST market on the east coast, we went to Fort Jesus so I could pick up a few things from Victor and Zera shops! Zera made me homemade samosas :) she is so sweet. and! Victor gave me a necklace as a gift from them from one of the shops. It is made out of coconut shell and it is very pretty :)
They both said "you are a daughter from america!" haha they are such a nice couple.
After visiting them, we went and got some fresh chips or they call them crisps here haha and some cold drinks!
Simone and I hung around the pool while Alfred and Chris planted all these new plants and Lisa was doing different projects around the house. It was a lovely day!
We had a nice steak dinner with baked potatoes and salad. It was a nice dinner with two amazing people, Chris and Lisa! I will truly miss them, but! am so happy I got to spend an awesome month with them.
I have fallen more in love with Real4Christ, with Mbewau, with Chris and Lisa, and with Kenya in a whole. I am truly grateful for all the opportunities the Lord has given me and can not wait for what the Lord has in store next.
I will be home soon and can not wait to give each one of you a BIG hug!
With Love,
Jenny
