Church in Kenya, make sure to get to bed early on Saturday. However, if you fly in on Friday, then your body clock will not allow you to sleep all night and you will be awake from 3 am until it’s time to take a cold shower. You might get a hot shower if you knew how to operate the shower. Which we didn’t. So, imagine 6 women who suddenly hit the sleep wall right in the middle of a very awesome, powerful, 2 hour sermon. Lots of switching positions, lots of drinking water, lots of pinching yourself. I’m happy to report that we were successful in our pursuit of wakefulness. It was a good thing because…
…at the end of the sermon Pastor Samuel announced that we were going to meet with the youth at 4:30 to discuss sex. Yeah, read that line again. Awwwkwaaard.
So there we were with about 20 young adults staring at us expecting us to be experts in all things love and sex. I have to be honest…we like totaaaallly rocked it!!!! We were very impressed by the depths of the questions asked of us. We conversed for about an hour and a half and could have gone much longer, but ran out of time. Be prepared June team, we were so awesome that they are planning to have you meet with them for an entire day. Hee, hee…
After that, tragedy struck. We went to our favorite place to get ice cream and the ice cream machine was broken. Ugh!! Disappointment all around.
However, all was not lost that evening – we learned how to use our shower!!! Apparently, you barely have to turn on the shower to get the hot water. If you turn it on all the way (stupid American) you get cold water. Good to know…
Tomorrow we finally get to see the kids and teachers at school. We can’t wait. We also can’t wait to take a non-freezing, sing to keep warm shower.
