Life at its best:

- To wake up in the morning, fetch water from the well and use it to take an ice cold bath.
- To walk for ten minutes to a river in order to fetch drinking water.
- To rush through the beautiful landscape of rural Kenya on the back of a motorbike.

(Finally I've been there, photo taken from the internet)

- To go for a swim in the crystal blue, crocodile-free lake behind Reflection Hill.
- To have everything from kids to hens running in and out of your house all day.
- To be greeted as "mkenya" and not "mzungu" at the town market.

(Public transport in rural Kenya, photo taken from the internet)

- To sing "Pamela come to God" with the children of Kamukunji, and pray with them for God to bless their families and their homes.
- To sit with an old lady on Reflection Hill, realizing that even if we don't speak the same language our Bibles say exactly the same.
- To see a young mother in the village come to realize that God loves her no matter what her past looks like.

(Any wonder why I love this country? Photo taken from the internet)

- To do all this, knowing that you are exactly where God wants you to be, and that without Him nothing of it would be possible.
Jeremiah 29:11

(By the way, I am sorry that I'm not able to post any of my own photos. The reason is that I clumsily have misplaced the cable for my camera. But photos will be coming... one day...)
