A guys post
What up people this is Mason, Hayden and I just got done listening to thriller and dancing. Today was a great last day at the orphanage ,lots of children that were very happy to see us and even some little kids that had never seen muzungus before that’s white people for those of you that do not speak Swahili. We r going back to Nairobi tomorrow to see the flamingos and hippos and to go eat a traditional African meal. The kids have been great at the orphanages and very happy to see us. It is so kool to be able to see what God is doing through us. I thought that I was going to come on this trip teaching kids about love, hope, faith, and God but the more that I look I realize that the kids are actually teaching us about those things.

(Hayden) i would just like to say there was a Michal Jackson poster in one of our hotels and it was genuinely creepy. Aside from that this trip has been great. The kids are so happy to see us and treat us like we are the coolest people on earth. We might be their first white person to see. That’s pretty awesome. These kids are always so happy and never get short with each other. I have truly seen real, pure joy this trip in the people here, and they don’t even have a fourth of what we do. The kids freaked out about our (the guys) hairy legs and arms. They thought I had a disease because of all of my freckles. Its overly funny. We taught them the fist pound and it spread pretty fast. They got to where they wouldn’t shake our hands because they just wanted to bump our fist. It was awesome. They do have soft drinks. One is called krest. The flavor is bitter lemon. Imagine drinkin straight acid. And you’ve had krest. But the kids here have taught me to see how real pure joy is not in anything in the world you can buy its just in life, and I think if you slow down and just live your life you will find it.
