Today was an awesome day, I had a conversation with a friend of mine entirely in Swahili, the conversation was about an hour long, my Kenyan friend told me that he could understood must of the conversation, I am proud for several reasons, I started learning Swahili over a year ago, and it's kind of easy because is in some way is similar to Spanish my first language, the other reason was the topic, it wasn't an easy topic, it was about recovery and systematic theology, so I had some problems with some words but for the must part I think was OK. I feel ready for my trip, it's been over 18 month of preparation for a two month trip to Kenya, but I'm exited, the purpose of my trip is to encourage a program for recovery alcoholics on rural Kenya, we are going to work with brewers, with the intake program, with homeless, and churches to create a healthy environment for the graduates of the program.
Mzungu is how they call white people, not in a racist way, but the color of my skin is light brown, so I guess they will call me kikahawia kikavu, dang that's easy!.
Can't wait to land in African soil, and if that wasn't good enough I was invited to bring the same program to Russia on December, unfortunately I had to decline but just the invitation is a great honor. I feel good about the changes in my life, I feel close to God, all the glory to Him, love you papa, and thanks.
