i missed telling the other part of my traveling story from tuesday. you see on the way to town, while driving across the median thing (a common occurence) the matatu's back tire fell into this gigantic hole. we're talking the hole tire fell in. how we didn't get a flat is beyond me. but i had to get out with that silly guitar while everyone pushed and then put the guitar back inside. good times.
so i'm pretty excited b/c maria offered to let my mom and i stay at her house over christmas. she's leaving for uganda tomorrow so we will have the whole house to ourselves for about a week. i was a bit reluctant to accept this offer b/c it's i don't even know her that well and i feel a bit wierd about it, but i think it's going to be really nice. this apartment has 4 1/2 baths, a balcony, a community pool, a loft area, etc. it's like a vacation home you would rent. so it should be nice to rest up there and take a shower more than twice a week :)
have you ever tried to make cookies with 30 kids? wow this is a challenge. i did that yesterday with the juvenile kids, interesting. then i went with dottie to the dr. you can see where her wrist was broken b/c the bone is jutting out in a wierd place that it shouldn't be. it's been bothering her for 2 years and she's never been able have surgery. we met with the doctor, and she's going to have the operation on the 16th of december. she also found out the same day that she got the teaching job she wanted. she called me right away when she found out and said i wanted you to know so we can praise God together.
tomorrow is the campout at BOLM. pray for me.

we so look forward to your blog... good thing that guitar made it safe !! since you have conquered cookie baking for 30 ...your mom says your ready for smores at the campout!
Just kidding. we are so happy for Dottie and you are such a wonderful friend!!! Camping should be old hat to you since your a seasoned counselor. KUMBAYA my Girl!! HA HA
Now wait just one minute there! It sounds as if Kathy (u're mama) is going to get cheated out of experiencing the real thing if you two stay in that posh apartment! LOL - I'm just kidding!!!
How wonderful that you were offered such a place while you two spend precious time together, & to have it all to yourselves to boot! But actually, I am wondering if your mom will also be spending any time at your normal diggs?? And eating the things that you have become accustomed to these past months?
A documentary was on TV the other night about Kenya & an orphanage there. I might not have normally watched it but since my neighbor Amy is in Kenya now, I eagerly watched to learn more of the conditions & life there. So sad.
