In Bungoma

I was just thinking, "Man, the internet has been a lot faster than it was when I was here last," when a handful of people walk into the internet cafe and muscle in on my bandwidth. O well, it's still not too bad.

Just had my first ride in a matatu. For those of you that don't know, a matatu is a minivan taxi that packs people in like sardines. It's cheap, but not very comfortable. The lord told me to ask him for a car while I was still in the states a week ago. "God, I'd like that car now."

Everything has been great so far. Noah and his family have been wonderful. They've welcomed me like family. Life here is going to take some getting used to, but I'll adjust quickly.

I'm planing on getting a phone while in town today and pick up a few other little things. So I'll try to give you a call tonight (or morning for you) mom.

Bye!

I can't even tell you how good it was to finally hear from you! I was beginning to wonder if you had made it to Bungoma yet or if the matatu had broken down on the 1 1/2 hour ride to Bungoma from Eldoret. Love you, Mom

I am so glad you are doing well. I think that it is awesome that you are getting used to things there and settling in. Glad to hear how welcomed you are there. God bless.
