Hey, Firstgradeland!

This one is obviously for my first graders;)  We went to a Maasai village today & visited with the congregation.  We were surprised by the invitation to a Maasai wedding & feast.  We actually ate goat meat & chapati flatbread.  I didn't get sick...yet!  Stay tuned on that one;p  I was able to chat on Skype with Mr. Nelson & Caleb tonight, which was wonderful.  Tomorrow we will attend church at Springs of Life, where I am sure to see some of the students I made friends with on Friday!  Looking forward to your comments!  Blessings to you!

    Glad to be able to connect today. Todays technology is quite a blessing. To speak and see you half way around the world is an amazing thing. Love you, dear.

    Mrs. Nelson
    How many kids are in the classes? School is going great, but we miss you. Mrs. Mulligan is very fun. We are getting better with our centers. What is Kenya like? Is is hot? I am thinking of you a lot and all the people in Africa. Can't wait to hear all about it. I will pray for you tonight.
    Love Brooklyn
