IT WORKS!

So I have been trying to get to my blog all week long but I couldn't connect to the website for some reason. Anyways, I have been a lot better after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was really really hard. I almost was ready to buy a ticket and fly on home. But I made it through it. My suitcase got stolen and all the bedding in Abby's (my host mother) house. Also they stole our dvd player but thank God that no one was home because they would have done more and much worse if any of the girls were there and since I was gone my computer and camera was with me. So I am safe and healthy and praise God for that. I will get to go to Kenya for Christmas and get to spend time with Josh and Rachel, and Horace and Phylis. I am really excited and I feel that the season will be better or easier because I will be with family. I have been working this week at ARMS doing some things in the communication department making brochures and using my pictures and my computer. I will be traveling back to Bethany for two weeks and I will be helping out in Camps. The first camp is for Primary students which can range from the age of 5 to the age of 13. The schooling here is a lot different from schooling back home because kids don't always start when they should and they don't always pass from year to year, which happens at home but not really at this level. So you could be 13 or 14 and still be in sixth grade. All that said I will be helping out with young kids and teenagers for the first camp. The second camp is the secondary camp which is High school. Then I will take a bus to Kenya and will head to "Obama Land" where Josh and Rachel live and will spend some time with them and then may go to Eldoret where Horace and Phylis live and may spend Christmas there and will head home the next day. I will then be back in Bethany for Senior youth camp which is University Students and Young Adults that are single. There I will spend my 19th birthday and New Years. After the new year I will have a short break where I will may get to go bungee jumping which I miss out on the first time. All in all I am having a great time and have been busy in a good way. I love everyone back home and hope to talk to all of you and oh yeah CONGRATS Brittney and Justin!
