Feeling more like family*

That morning nothing to exciting happened just hung around Jacky's house most of the time and watched them eat breakfast.  They did have honey sitting on the table for the tea and Jacky's little one grabbed the bowl of honey and say yummm honey as scooped spoonfuls of it into here house.  At first no one was looking at her so I thought ok if thats what she wants to eat for breakfast but I soon found out that she probably wasn't suppose to be doing that because by the time it was gone Jacky caught her.  Sneaky little girl I know I would never do anything wrong like that at my house (: We later on went to the office after she sent her oldest son off to boarding school for two months.  It most be very normal for them because no tears were coming down at all.  If that were me I would be freaking out a bit.  I was so happy to be in the office because that meant that I had internet connection. Yahoo!! But not long after we got there I started to not feel so well I just tried to convince myself that I was homesick though and that I would be just fine.  Turns out it wasn't that I was just homesick it was that I was actually sick sick.  Just what I wanted on my first full day in Kenya.  I ran to the bathroom just in time to not make to big of a mess.  Jacky made sure that I was ok then we were off to go and get me a new phone and internet connection cards.  We took some crazy buses on the way that were very packed!  I was so scared that the bus was going to start moving as I tried to get off but luckily Jacky was behind me so she ended up having to jump off the bus while it was still moving.  She looked like such a hoot!  I also gave her the donation money that I had collected before I went over there for the orphanage.  Jacky was so thankful for that.  I must send a big thanks out there to all have helped out with the orphanage either with there money or prays!  It is all very helpful and I'm so honored you guys would do this for the kids that I have fell in love with.  God bless you all!  When we sat down for dinner that night Jacky was telling me different things that they believed in there culture and one was that you are not allowed to leave someones house without at least drinking water.  I got very lucky and had just passed that test in the nick of time because I took a sip of the water as she was talking.  Thank goodness I didn't get stuck in her house.  I was very tired that night and was looking forward to getting to bed!
