Surprise!

Woke up at 6am to Elda gently spreading the blanket over me, as she got up to begin the day.

As you can see in the photo below, I began writing in my journal, but when Rosie woke up and came to sit with me, I decided I'd rather be making more memories with her than writing down the events of yesterday. :) 

 Elda and I, before she left to go to work. Doesn't she look nice? :)

She works a short distance away (Makanya) for World Vision.

She gave me a decorative hair tie this morning and said I can keep the kanga if I want. Told her that I'll at least take it to Chome with me, then I can tell everyone "Elda gave this to me!" She laughed. :)

Mmmm... breakfast! Godfrey and Kenedy cooked for us this morning. I jokingly said that they survived my cooking, so I had better survive theirs :)

While these pictures were loading, Godfrey said he wanted to take me to the supermarket to buy something for me (ICECREAM! WHAT A SURPRISE! I didn't know that existed here!!!)

In front of the store, parked at the gas station, was the Kilenga bus, filled with mission team members! Jerry and Bill were standing out front! What a surprise! What a reunion! So good to see some more familiar faces! Pastor Bernie, Denise... my heart was leaping for joy! :)

Think I'd better begin on the ice cream now. Would be a pity for it to melt :) I am one happy girl!
