It is officially my last Wednesday night in Kenya. I have several mixed emotions with the thought of returning to the US in one week.
I don't want to leave Kenya.
I am going to miss my coworkers.
I am going to miss that Kenyan culture is very touchy.
I am going to miss my teammates.
I am going to miss buying Pineapple Fanta (everyday) for 50 schillings, or less (about $0.50).
I am going to miss feeling like a celebrity wherever I go.
I am going to miss my loan groups.
I am going to miss my sponsor child, Faith.
I am going to miss samosas and chapati.
I am going to miss greeting everyone in the office twice a day.
I am going to miss having chai twice a day.
I am going to miss the children.
I am going to miss KENYA!
I'm not gonna lie and say I will miss everything about Kenya because some things I will be happy to not have to deal with. In the grand scheme of things, I really think I will miss Kenya more than not.
The greatest part about all of this is that God is present with me. He is right next to me holding my hand and telling me "Everything will be okay, I have big plans for your future."
Do those plans have Kenya in the future? Honestly, I have no idea, but I know that God is going to lead me where He wants me.
I'm so blessed to have had the opportunity to be in Kenya for such a long period of time.
I'm so blessed by the love, support, and prayers from friends, family, and churches back in the states.
Be blessed my friends.
In Christ,
Brandi :)
