On a lighter note, things are going better. I was really sick yesterday, but TJ was so sweet and went into town and bought me these little bananas, sprite and a pillow. I still have a sore throat, but I'm feeling a lot better! Then last night TJ told me we were going to go out on a date for a desert. I was a little shocked, but then he pulled out the cookies and Ipod and said here we go! :) Haha. So under the mosquito net we 'went out' for a movie and desert.
The children love all the games we have brought for them. It has been challenging to teach them, but they get a hang of it after a while. We're going to be leaving on Thursday to head back to Nakuru. It is hard to believe our trip is half way over. I'm pretty certain when it comes time to leave, I'm not going to want to. Really theres just something about Africa that makes you feel so at home. I mean sure, out showers consist of a bucket of hot water, we've eaten beef and sweet potatoes for 5 days in a row, and the mesquites are horrible, but it's the people that make you enjoy every single day.
Well, it's time for TJ to go play soccer. Catch ya later! <3

Well, we all learn from our mistakes! Now really, cages for animals in the jungle? As I said in the comment to T.J.'s blog...When you get back be sure to read the book I just finished, "Not Exactly Eden" just put in your name in the place of Jenna. God bless. T.J's Grandma
I sat here laughing out loud at the vision of you walking through the jungle... and I can't wait for the video to come out. hehe
Keep being Jesus' hands and feet. Be a blessing and you will be blessed.
Proud of you!

Oh boy....it was a long day at work and great entertainment to come home and read of your escapades in the jungle. :) Thanks for the laughs. Keep taking your malaria meds....and if you are sick, don't hesitate to take your antibiotic....that is what you have it for. Just make sure you take a full dose....don't stop if you start to feel better.... Sorry....the nurse in me is coming out. :)And make sure TJ is taking his malaria meds, will you?....Thanks!! We are praying....Love you guys, Vickee
Oh, one more comment....Tell TJ I thought his date night was the most creative I have heard of. Too funny!! Vickee
Ok, this is really the last comment on this blog :))Do you remember what I told you, Kylee, the night before you guys left? Be prepared for Africa to become a part of your being....It has a way of working into your heart and never leaving. You will always have a heart for Africa. I told you.... :)Vickee
The Soul With Sunny Heart
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who brightens up each day
By spreading seeds of cheerfulness
While traveling on life's way.
God bless him for the stars of hope
He sets in each one's sky;
For the encouragement he gives
That causes folk to try...
With stronger faith to press ahead,
With courage for a mate,
And reach for goals, and build anew,
And smile and challenge fate.
God bless his laughter and his song
That drives dark clouds away
From troubled minds, and paints instead
A rosy-tinted day.
God bless the soul with sunny heart
Who's found in life his place,
And serves his God and fellow man
With humble, gentle grace.
The world has need of such a man
Who lifts the heart from gloom,
And in life's barren places plants
Sweet flowers of love to bloom.
He may serve as some men serve
With fame or high degree...
But his good deeds will ever shine
Throughout eternity.

Hey Kylee! I was just on your Facebook and remembered that you had been keeping blogs since you went to Africa. You've kept me entertained for a good 10 minutes now with your previous posts:) It sounds like you and TJ are making some unforgettable memories and a huge difference while traveling Africa:) Hope you're enjoying every second of it! Have you gotten homesick at all? When are you two scheduled to come back home?! Haha, enough with the questions. Anyways, enjoy the time you have left. What you guys are doing is so awesome:) Bye Kylee! -Katie
