Beginning of 4rth week in Kenya about a month now...time flys!

Well just to be safe...for those who were reading my note of facebook. These notes/blogs are just my observations and how I feel. They are not meant to offend anybody and put any person or people down. In everything I write I want to do it in an honest manner, speak of the good and the bad, not just one side. just to get that clear at least. welcome to all my facebook friends following this blog now. feel free to check out the other stuff I've written.

Well its about  to be the begginging of week 4 in Kenya. And I got to say that looking back on it all I've grown so much in the past weeks. My relationship with the Lord is growing and growing. When you are in a different country where you no noone and everything seems unfamiliar to you it really teaches you on how much you need the Lord. I especially love my roomate she is soo sweet and we hold commonalities and my sense of humor clicks well with hers. This past week I have to be honest, I felt overwhelmed by the guys here. When one would ask for my number I could not think of a smart way to say no so I gave it and now my phone is being blowed up.  But truthfully though I've made some good legitimate guy friends here though. But I can count on one hand how many guys I'm able to have an intelligent conversation with.
Friday night was an adventure. It was about to 8 at night and my roomate was like this guy asked her to a party off campus and she did not want to go, but if I could come with her and eventullay act as if I were sick so we could leave. So after chilling by the shops off campus the guy came to lead us to this party. We were walking and walking and after a few mins I started to get paranoid. I told him I knew how to fight. But he assured us kindly that we were almost at this place. we reached this place and he opened the door and the smell of alcohol was so strong. I wanted to leave right away. there was other people at this so called party. we sat there for about three mins and said we were leaving. I never walked back faster in my life. We got back to where there were lights and the shops and were so thankful we were safe. My roomate told me that she recognized the female at the party to be the number one weed seller in that area. we were so grateful and we learned a very important lesson about the "off campus" parties at daystar. we bought ourselves strawberry ice cream to ease the shock...it was great. We chilled at one of my friends restaurants. Speaking of that friend I must speak of him. His name is Robert. Of all the guys at daystar I've met so far, I can see he is a young man of character. He loves the lord, he is humble, he is honest, I just love being around him. He is Tazanian. And I know when he speaks to me it is on friendly terms. He is the international student leader. I sort of see him as Jospeph in the Bible. A true follower of the Lord's voice. If anyone speaks of him here or at daystar, not a negative thing leaves their mouths about him. I am truly impressed by him. and pray the Lord would continue to bless him for his commitment to him. I got to hang out with him almost all day saturday in Narobi, and I got to say he thinks a lot different from a lot of people here. He has a love for the lord that is genuine. Another person that I've met here at daystar is a girl by the name of Annabelle. As soon as I met her I was attracted by her kind and joyful spirit. her spirit seemed similar to mine. Everything she does it seems she does out of a true and genuine kind of love. I am also impressed by her, she is really cute, in character, personality, and in looks. I praise God that I made a friend like her. Another good friend I've met goes by the name Pepe. He is cool, I feel I can be myself around him. his thought process is really different and unique from a lot of people. He deffintly has a differnt thought pattern which I see is valuble. He thinks more in the abstract and visual, he is deffinitly an artist. I promised him I must wash his hair for him lol. A friend that has been a help to me since i got here is Lucas. I am truly grateful for him. He was so helpful to me when I was going through a lot of difficulty during the first week. he sings, plays the piano and bass guiter. It is a lot of fun jamming out with him. I've made some more friends that I find of value. but I will have to tell about them in another post. my goal here is not to make a lot of friends, but to make friends that will last a lifetime. I am glad that I am able to experience that. so I am ready for a new week of  classes, so I'll have to update you on that as well

Tootaaloo!!
