Hi! We only have a few minutes but wanted to say a quick hi! We are sitting in a town called Kikuyu, which is about 10 miles from 'home.' We were unable to write sooner because we have had no electricity or running water for over a week now! Apparently the oil for the transformer was stolen and the local council is so angry that they are taking their sweet time in replacing it. But, in this last week, we have learned many things - we have hand washed all our clothes, taken many splash baths, repeatedly lugged a bucket of water up stairs to fill the toilet after every flush, as well going to bed by 9 because we can see absolutely nothing!
We have been up to quite a lot, such as going to church, having lunch with a pastor and his family in their mud hut, and spending a full day at the primary school acting as the children's 'parents' for Prize Giving Day (we will be teaching 2 days a week soon!). We'll fill you in more later, but right now we need to go catch our ride to the Maasai Mara where we are going on a 4 day safari!!!
We love and miss you!
Emily and Simon

Your spirits seem to be soaring with every new experience and even every moment. It makes me and many others so happy to hear your stories and vicariously learn and fell with you. It also makes me miss you when you reach out and touch. Give and receive love, joy, and humor. Much love, mw
