- driving=unlike any american driving ever. opposite side, people everywhere, honking and passing on a regular basis.
- babies= fabulous. don't think i'll be getting sick of the smiles, giggles, and cuddles anytime soon. (the songs? maybe at some point...not yet) we took one from the baby house to town today and he stared absorbing it all with wide eyes and mouth open
- women= in love with the babies and wonderful. i've been absorbing their routines etc. and it has been a time of adjustment but overall it has been great and they are loving and welcoming me with open arms :)
- animals= goats, chickens etc. in the back yard, cows etc. wandering in the streets. helloooo africa.
- language= must learn Swahili words soon, great language.
- time= most flexible/non-existent as expected. never get your mind set on something because you never do know...good and bad in the lack of structure. very different than anything american.
God has been incredible faithful (luggage was lost initially sidenote: trying to communicate that i need my bags shipped etc. right when i get off the plane threw me right into it but now it is HERE!) and is giving me courage and strength every step of the way.
excited to see what the next 4 months brings..
will write more soon! :)
love, grace and peace,
sus
