Hey! We're at the end of day 2 here in Africa and I cannot tell you how full of joy I am :) It's so amazing.
Yesterday we went to a slum called Kimbasa. We went door to door sharing about Christ and just talking and praying with the people. BEfore we left all these kids gethered around us and they sang us some songs. It was the sweetest thing. I definitely cried a few times and I hated leaving.
I LOVE these people. Especially the kids. And tehy are so sweet. White people apparently never really go to the slums here and so they get so excited when they see you. When you walk down a street ( Which is really a muddy path between the houses ) a little kid might see you and yell "Mzungu! Mzungu!" and pretty soon they and all their friends will be rushing toward you to hold your hand, rub your arm (They seem facinated by my freckles ) bear hug you and be held. And they adore having they're pictures taken and then seeing them. You should here their giggles when they do.
Today we went to another slum called Sebena. This one was full of kids and we all played with them for a long time. They climbed in our laps and held our hands. There was sone little girl who would run up to every mzungu and just bear hug them with a huge grin on her sweet little face. They found a tree with flowers on it and picked all the ones they could reach so they could give them to us.
Tonight we went to a house church back in Sebena. Afterwards we bought lots of beaded necklaces and braceletes from this lady who makes them for a living. She was so happy that we were buying them.
Well, I miss everybody back in the states but I'm having the best 2 weeks of my life. I've never been so joyful or loved so much. Have a blessed day :)
