A New Room

Here is a picture of my bathroom in the guesthouse in Kenya. I find myself perplexed by this room. I don't have one in Doro yet I spend so much time here now. It's so rather strange to me!

Things to do in the new room

- Take a Shower

- Brush your teeth

- Wash your face

- Put in your contacts

- Use the toilet

- Blow your nose

- Throw away trash

- See your reflection

- Wash your hands

WOW! At first I was having a little trouble with the flushing of the handle, you have to jiggle it a bit, but now I've got that all figured out.  I am just amazed at all the things you can do in one small simple room!

Wonder what things I will find strange when I go back to America.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I am sad that I am not able to be there to celebrate with you in person this year. Can't believe it's been a whole year since the family was out at the Gristmill Restaurant in Gruene Tx celebrating your birthday. It was a wonderful time together with family. 

I love you mom!

Independence Day- July 9th

On July 9th 2011- South Sudan became it's own country! So today we celebrated their independence with a huge celebration in the next town, Bunj. It was a great celebration with so many tribes from the area. There were speeches, dances, and so much more! Here are some pictures from the celebration!
