More Awesomeness

Becca here! So... continuing on from Dan's last post... After our lovely experience at Fuka, we basically off-roaded way out in the boonies to this beautiful school called Faraja. It is a school for children with physical disabilities and is run with the same curriculum as other schools, but the facility itself is made especially for these children. When we were there, we found out we didn't really have any responsibilities and were staying in the guest house, which was beautiful. So we basically had the freedom to do whatever we wanted, which posed  challenges and benefits all at the same time. The children there were wonderful. So much fun! And, despite whatever disabilities they had, they were amazing at soccer and successfully schooled the guys. Danielle and I played clapping games, catch, and "pop all the bubbles"??? with whoever was on the side. Having no responsibilities was good because it gave us time to debrief on what we had been experiencing, gave us some much needed rest, and some good hang out time. But it also made things a bit difficult because we had to choose to leave our free time to play with the kids and when we chose to do that, it was well worth it. It was an amazing experienc and those kids are magnificent! haha.
After Faraja, we went on a road trip to Nkweseko church to meet youth there. On the way we took a little detour and stopped at a beautiful river and took a lot of pictures that definitely don't do it justice. Once we were finally at Nkweseko we unpacked our stuff to stay in the beautiful hostel and drove up to a gate to Mt. Kili and we saw some monkeys! First viewing of African wildlife! From there, some of the Nkweseko youth and the pastor led us on a hike pack to the church and we got to go into an old cave where the Chaga people lived while they and the Masai were at war and the Chaga would hide and spy from up in the cave. Pretty awesome, I must say. Once we got back to the church, we had a discussion time with the youth, hung out a bit, had some amazing supper, and went to bed. We woke up in the morning to the most amazing view of Mt. Kili. It looked so close.... ahhhh. Le sigh (french sighing?). ANYWAYS..... we are now at yesterday.... yesterday, we visited the Lyamungo Coffee research centre and saw how they grow coffee beans and drank some fresh coffee. mmmm.  Quite enlightening. Then we went to lunch at the retreat centre, and then we came back to Moshi, went on the WORLD WIDE WEB, and, for supper, we met with the assistant to the bishop. Pretty cool. 
And today, we are going to visit the Mwika Bible College. So many amazing experiences! I'm in AFRICA!!!!! .... in case you didn't know. I think that sometimes I forget, so I am reminding myself on this post to everyone who reads it. Okay, not making sense anymore, so this is the end. Au Revoir. and.... oh yes, "sit down in the chair" in Swahili: "Kaa Kwenye Kiti".
That is all. haha.
