Saturday's


Good morning good morning good morning!  Today I finally got to sleep in and boy did I enjoy every bit of it.  I had a very lazy morning of just laying around in my bed eating once again some dry cereal for breakfast.  I have a feeling I’m not going to want cereal in a long time when I get back to the states.  I slowly got ready for the day with a cold shower and spent a good chunk of time talking with my sister which I always enjoy (: James and Yvonne are both now in Nairobi so I will most likely being staying up at the center tonight so that way I don’t get bothered by there workers.  I hope I can get some good sleep up here!  Not much was happening up at the center this morning only about six of the sponsored kids showed up which made it very quiet.  We did some coloring for about an hour and it ended up being very calming.  Now the kids are just running around outside causing some trouble haha to me though they are just kids being kids.  They did manage to get a tennis ball stuck up on the roof that we were playing with so we had to get Wilfred over here to knock it down with a stick.  They saw that I was writing on here and to my surprise they started to read out loud what I was writing.  These little ones know a lot more English then I thought they would.  Wilfred gets to be the teacher today since Emily gets her weekends off (not really though because she told me she will be doing laundry which can take up to like five hours).  Its funny how he is walking around barefoot and teaching the kids.  I don’t think we would ever see our teachers do that back in the U.S.  It definitely makes for a lot more relaxed feel around here.  Right now they are learning how to add two digit numbers.  The examples that Wilfred is coming up with are kicking my ass right now.  When he is teaching he speaks half in English and half in their mother tongue so I can only pick up bits of what is going on.  Lets just hope he knows what he is teaching him!  I did end up enjoying my night up at the center.  I was finally able to sleep all through the night without waking up from being scared of the sounds outside.  I think it really helped having someone else around plus I wasn’t dying of heat for one night since Wilfred opened the windows for us (I couldn’t open the windows at night back at my house due to security now).  I hope I get to sleep this good the rest of the time I’m here!!
