whirlwind

It all happened so fast. I was just busy living my life. Waking up early, washing clothes and the house, fetching water, taking bucket showers, going to the hospital, hanging out with the elders, playing with the kids for hours, etc. And all the sudden, I was going home on Thursday. 

Just like that. 
It came out of no where. 

It was hard for me to swallow but everyone else seemed like they had an even harder time. They all took it like I was playing a practical joke on them. I couldn't have been telling the truth. Oh, but I was. 

And so I am home now and currently waiting for 6:30 am to roll around so I can head off to work. 

Just like that. 
Back to the thug life. 

But there was a ton we did before we left. Let me try to summarize it with lots of pictures. 

Hung out with the kid like everyday.

Gave all the kids BYU-I shirts.

Went to 14 Falls for a Zone Meeting with the missionaries.

Matching lunch dates with the elders. 

Many hospital trips for this lush lady. 

YSA activities at Mountain View.

Handing out donated backpacks collected by my mom and Tim. 

Swimming for Papa's birthday

Tim came and got a girl friend. Aren't they perfect?

Stake sports day!

Taking some kids to the Tusker's game. 

Falling in love with this boy. 

A baptism for a really good friend's sister.

Taking all the kids swimming. 

Prize giving day.

Saying goodbye. 

Being famous at the stake center. 

And letting the kids experience Easter the American way. 

And that was Kenya 2014.
