We're Bringing Camel Back

  The last few weeks have been so full as we (the five interns) have settled into the schedule of the next month or so. I got to catch up with my friend who has been struggling so much, I spent two days at the clinic instead of one, and I got to teach science "lab" to 1-4 graders (we are learning the basics of how to grow a sunflower!).
  One of the days I was at the clinic, we had a staff lunch at a Somali restaurant. First from the menu to be ordered was camel...and honestly I quit listening to the rest of the order. It was sooo good! My stomach wasn't exactly happy with me later, but it was well worth it.
  I have been driving some here thanks to our team leader who is allowing me to use his family's car while they are stateside. It has been really fun for me to learn to drive here, but this last week I had my first I-don't-like-driving-here experience. Long story shortened--a 30 minute drive took me 4 hours because I took several wrong turns that led me straight into the jam. Yes, I cried at least every hour. My phone died at one point, which added anxiety, but thank goodness for street walkers who sell car chargers for 3 bucks!!
  Last Sunday, I was able to help lead worship in church. At one point, as the worship team was warming up, two of the singers looked at me and encouraged me to get more involved with the music. I laughed and told them that I was doing good just to move side-to-side with the beat--I also told them that once I learned Hindi and Kiswahili fluently then I would dance with them during worship.
