Jambo

     Life here is so different, people get on a more personal level and are so welcoming. Walking through town and Shimo it is almost guaranteed you will say hello and shake hands with at least fifty people. I love that about the culture here in Kenya. People in America are so focused on ourselves and we do not want to take time out of our lives to talk with random strangers. We are always told “stranger danger,” but that is definitely not the case here. Kenyans are so welcoming it is amazing; they will invite anyone into their homes. They are so proud of what God has provided for their families, even if that means a small one-room mud hut with a sheet to make two rooms. They are blessed people that love the Lord with all of their heart. Their faith in Him is so inspiring!
