Day Two in Kenya

Our first full day in Kapsowar. Today, Sunday, was pretty relaxing. We visited a local church along with some other missionaries. We were a little late, so a herd of white people stampeded into the front of the church during the middle of worship. It was fun. Students from the school took turns singing songs; kenyans love to sing :) The people are all so welcoming; they were so excited to have us there and welcomed us with a little reception after church.
Vanessa and little baby Isaac are not feeling well, so please keep them in your prayers. While the family enjoyed a relaxed Sunday afternoon, we girls went to a soccer game between Kapsowar and a neighboring town, Itan - the famous town where Olympic runners come to train. We went with a medical student from England and a couple of nursing students. We were the only white people out there and one of the few females, so we were quite the spectacle. The game was really exciting with so many locals coming out to cheer for their team. The field was definately not in very good shape for an official game, but that didn't slow anybody down! We left at half time, just before it rained, with Kaspowar down 1-0.
Finally, for the fourth of July all the missionaries gathered for a full fledged American dinner with our honorary Brit. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, potatoe salad, fruit salad, cookies, s'mores, etc. Very delicious. :)
Tomorrow I (Emily) am going to the hopsital with Kyle and am going to help out wherever he needs it. I was asked to do some lectures for the nurses so i'm going to scope out the hospital and see what could be most useful to teach. I'm also planning on scrubbing in for some surgeries and hopefully delivering a baby or two at some point. :) Hanna is going to help Vanessa with some homeschooling tomorrow and then maybe come over to the hopsital and help out wherever. She is also probably going to go to the primary school that is near by and perhaps do some teaching.
We are both so excited to be here and look forward to the next few weeks! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
