Blink Of An Eye

Wow... I cannot believe it has been almost 2 weeks back in Canada. Time truly does fly... The adjustment the last little while has been an interesting one. I have personally found it just a little too easy to slip back into the sometimes self absorbed culture that sometimes occurs in our community. But I have also been finding the reverse culture shock tough of being back in the normal routine and wanting so desperately to go back to Kenya. That trip was the best experience of my life and all the memories and people we met will forever hold a place in my heart.

Fadhili Trust

This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations.

Day Behind

So I did not post a blog last night because I was not feeling well.. I am having a hard time recovering from the flight and getting used to the food. BY the way Kenyan food is so yummy I just have a sensitive tummy. So let me do a recap of Sunday: We went to church in the morning which was so amazing!! The vibe in african church is so different from the vibe in churches in Canada. The worship was so much fun to listen to because they got so into it. After church we went to this Ethiopian Restaurant and it served the best food I have ever tasted!!! Words cannot even describe how amazing it was lets just say that everyone in the Stucke family would of been all over it and the seagulls would of been in heaven. I would show a picture but I cannot find my computer charger so this post is going to be short and sweet. After the amazing lunch we went to this place called new life which takes in abandon babies. This was a bittersweet time because the babies are so cute and so loved its just s...
