Tiffany's Tuesday recap
5:40 pm... Riding on our way back to the hotel and going over the day. We went back to the school building and wow what progress. They are using bricks to build the walls and the walls started yeserday with 1 row, today they had completed about 8 rows, 5 ft or so. Great progress. We began the day hauling the left over bricks to the school building. After that, we hiked up a mountain, Mawa which means honey comb because of all the bee hives. Wow, am I needing to hit the gym! At the top of the mountain, the view looking over Ngaamba was amazing! God was there! I found a perfect shaded rock with a breeze overlooking Ngaamba that I told everyone was my "Heaven Spot" because that's what it looked like. The team liked that and agreed and many took my picture on that rock. We hiked back down passing homes and the people would run out to greet us. We played with the children again. Today I played tug- of- war. My side was awesome, so I taught the children how to high five and say good job when we would win. The high fives became a game in itself and motivation to win. They would practically knock me over and surround me yelling good job and high five-ing like crazy when we won. Then I taught them to play Simon Says. It was a blast hearing 50 or so children say my name Mrs. Tee-fo-nay in their Kenyan accents. Needless to say I will sleep well tonight. As I type we just passed monkeys in a tree and some zebras. Love you all and miss you- T
