Wowzer, today was quite a day. A little more light-hearted than our previous days, but it was great nonetheless. We started things off with a friendly little game known by the Kenyan locals as a "scavenger hunt". Teams were divided evenly by skill, wit, heart, desire, and courage. Connor's group was equipped with the best in the biz. Catherine "Super Star" Johnson, Lara "I Know You Like What You See" Kish, Brenda "Don't Mess With The Best" Adams, Connor "Im So Fly Till I Die" Glass, and Mwenge "Winning Is My Weakness" Mwenge reported back to the IU House in record time, leaving all of the other teams weeping in defeat. The scavanger hunt including retrieving things such as pictures of billboards, pineappaples, spoons, and stamps. Connor's group hasn't received their grand prize yet, but they have already reserved a spot in the new trophey case at school.
Sara's group actually finished first, but decided to use their time more wisely by spending their remaining time at the Sally Test Center. Everyone joined and spent the rest of the morning at Sally Test and then had a relaxing lunch back at the IU compound. After lunch, we took a quick dip in the pool. We had the afternoon to spend as we pleased. Some chose to stay and journal, some chose to go back to the Imani Workshop, and some returned to the Sally Test Center. Connor and I met up with our friendz that we met on our OVC visits and showed them the Sally Test Center and the IU House. Margaret, the social worker we visited with, and her two daughters, Jane and Grace were so kind to us and showed us their house the other day and so we felt like we owed it to them to spend a day as our guests. Dunia, the manager of the IU compound, has a cuz who does sick henna tats and hooked us all up for a small fee. It was GREAT. We were so grateful for her work and she appreciated the business because she needed the money to pay for her medical bills. Everyone got tatted up except for Connor and Glennis because they are nerds. Grace and Jane were nervous about the tattoos until they realized they were only temporary and saw how hott da ladies looked.
The rest of the day finished in the regular routine of dinner and reflection. Both of these things were equally great. Sara and Connor then drank coffee and can't fall asleep. We are super excited for tomorrow, and can't wait to see what fun-filled surprises are in store for us.
Love,
Connor and Sara
