Kenya Day One

So today was my first day in Kenya and boy has it been an experience! I arrived last night around two O'clock in the morning because my flight from Amsterdam was delayed due to a snow storm. The problem is that when I arrived the other three members of my group had not made it her yet. Paige, Maxwell, and Richard had to land in Germany because of the snow storm and probably wont make it here until Wednesday, so in the mean time im just chillin out. I have now experienced what I want to call "new country syndrome". Basically it means that I got here and was extremely exhausted but because of the change in weather, strange noises outside, the mosquito net that wouldnt stay closed, weird smells and the fact that my friends arent here, I had the hardest time falling a sleep last night. But im about to make up for it in a few hours. Today I went drive around with Pastor George! He is absolutely hilarious. We drove around town for a while and then decided to head out to See part of the Great Rift Valley, which was really cool. What I soon found out is that on Christmas it is Kenyian tradition to slaughter a goat and fix it for dinner. Well guess what we are going to be doing Christmas day, slaughtering a goat. I would say that this Christmas will be quite a bit different from previous ones. Anyway, I thought I was going to die today! When my dad and I went to Costa Rica this summer I thought the drivers there were crazy, they are kinder gardeners compared to the Kenyians! The are absolutely nuts, for an example to day played chicken with an eighteen wheeler and we ended up have to swerve off the side of the road. I was the only one who was on edge in the car, everyone else just laughed. Anyway please pray for Paige, Maxwell and Richard because Chirs McCandless said that life and adventures should be shared and I agree with him.
