Living the African Dream...: October 2009
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Living the African Dream. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Let the Worshippers Arise. And then tonight at chapel, I watched as my students - these kids that have already won my heart - lifted their hands high in worship, bent down at the altar, cried out to our God, and praised their Savior. After visiting the slums this week, I've realized again how incredibly important each life is. Enough. Changing one life does. Monday, October 12, 2009. Cassie with Mary and Wallace. After hearing this story, we took a t...

Living the African Dream...: May 2010
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Living the African Dream. Monday, May 24, 2010. I really like my 8th graders. So when they asked if I wanted to hike to the Hot Springs with them, well. duh. So we all gathered. Took a few captives. Walked through Goblin Tunnel to the sounds of many, many shrieks and squeals (the boys too.). And were on our merry way. Of course they needed to stop and climb the cliffs. And have yoga balancing competitions. This is the waterfall we hiked to back in December. SO FUN! So we caught up to the rest of them.

Living the African Dream...: Blackrock
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2010/05/blackrock.html
Living the African Dream. Sunday, May 23, 2010. Each year there is a rugby tournament here in Kenya called Blackrock. It's a big deal. Seriously. Here at RVA, rugby is king. Therefore, Blackrock is a big deal for RVA as well. JV and Varsity both made it to the semifinals for the cup (champions' trophy), both played their hearts out, and though they both lost it was quite the exciting day. They're quite possibly right. Here are some pictures to prove it. We're in red :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Living the African Dream...: December 2009
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Living the African Dream. Saturday, December 26, 2009. Sarah made us stockings that said "My First Christmas in Africa". so cute! Praise the Lord, I survived my first Christmas without my family! And in Kenya, at that! Heading into Christmas I figured it'd either be really sad not being in Wisconsin with my family and waiting for our Santa presents, or else I'd be so busy playing with other families that I'd hardly have time to be sad. Thank God, it was the second. If so, great job Andrea :). A handful o...

Living the African Dream...: November 2009
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Living the African Dream. Sunday, November 29, 2009. So I know I'm a little late on the whole Thanksgiving blog post thing and should therefore get minus a blog demerit or something, but better late than never, right? For each of my students and the time they're about to have with their family, as well as a nice month-long break to catch up on the things I would love to be doing with non-teaching time. However, my neighbor did get some pictures of the titchies doing their play. Plus I'm in Africa, of all...

Living the African Dream...: Rewind, #1
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2010/08/rewind-1.html
Living the African Dream. Sunday, August 15, 2010. It seems like that's the way I've done most of my blog posts, so why stop now eh? For 3rd term midterm Jenny, Sarah and I decided to go visit Jenny's college friends who lived in Nakuru, a town about 2 hours from Kijabe. It's home to a small wildlife park and Lake Nakuru, but we decided to opt out of the small safari and just relax. We hopped onto a matatu after much drama at the top of the hill and were on our way. We also took a little trip to a big cr...

Living the African Dream...: Rewind #3
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2010/08/rewind-3.html
Living the African Dream. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. For my last day in Africa, Jenny and Sarah and I went in to town for a last trip to Nakumat, the Wal-Mart type grocery store in Nairobi, lunch at a little cafe and then had dinner with my dearest Kenyan friend Bernice and her family. The day was relaxing, wonderful, and so sweet. Praise God, for He is GOOD. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Local Time in Kijabe, Kenya. Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (2014). Nehemiah, by Catlin.

Living the African Dream...: Lesson 2: Friendship
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2010/07/lesson-2-friendship.html
Living the African Dream. Monday, July 5, 2010. Last week in church our guest speaker told a story from when he and his family were serving in Tanzania. His wife borrowed an egg from a neighbor. A few days later, she sent her African house worker to repay the neighbor for the egg. The African said "No, because then you're saying you don't want to be her friend; you don't want to be indebted to her.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Local Time in Kijabe, Kenya.

Living the African Dream...: September 2009
http://shootingtheafricanbreeze.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Living the African Dream. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. I've had this post ready for a while, but surprise! I haven't had my computer for two days! Wow, how did I survive, you ask? Gilmore Girls, lesson planning, and cleaning my room helped. Although now with lesson plans spread all over my bedroom floor, you would never know it had been cleaned. Anyways, here is the long awaited update! Sizzle Ants, Sizzle. How did I obtain all of these bugs, you ask? Apparently during 3rd term (May-Julyish) EVERYONE eat...
