It's simple, but that's good with me.

I have a video uploading. Hopefully it'll work before I have to leave!

It's day 3 in Kenya (second full day). Some highlights:

  • Every night we watch this Spanish soap opera that's dubbed over in English-- it's called the Abyss of Passion. The story line has been pretty easy to catch onto.
  • I hardly slept last night after being so confident that I never get jet lagged. I got a couple hours, but was awake at 2am and didn't fall back asleep. The Muslim call to prayer this morning, however, was gorgeous. 
  • I made a list while I was sleep deprived in the Zurich airport of things airports should do to improve travel. A few good ones include adding a gym, having a place where people with long layovers can curl up in a bundle of blankets, pillows, and possibly puppies, having free wifi, and making everything cheaper. Tell someone to get right on that please. By my flights back I expect at least 2 of those implemented in the Belgium and Newark airports. 
  • I am familiar with most of the food I've eaten so far. I've had matooke, rice, mango, cabbage, and meals very similar to Uganda. I'm still waiting for chapatti, though. I know they eat it-- Emily said it was one of her favorites. 
  • I'm headed to an all-night worship session tonight. I know, it's a really good idea to help with my jetlag, but it's for God. That counts for something, right? Eh, I'll sleep when I'm in America. (lies, bloody lies.)
  • I haven't started work yet-- the school day today was short, so I'll begin on Monday. I'll start off at Logos school, a private Christian school in Nairobi, that works directly with the chapel.

Ok, my laptop is dying and I don't have a converter to charge it with-- there's one at the Chapel, but I'm at a coffee shop. I don't think the video is going to make it onto this post. I'll get some photos up and will try to have the video ASAP.

EDIT: Here's the video! Sorry for the not so great quality-- internet.
