Fanta is Awesome

Hey it's Ben-jammin here. We've ben doing good in Kenya here so far. It has ben quite an experience to this point. Today we went to church with Dr. Emily which was amazing. The singing, dancing, and enthusiasm put into all aspects of the service were unrivaled to anything any of us has ever seen. It is a joy to see how other cultures worship and a blessing that we have been placed somewhere that takes such joy in honoring God. The sermon in itself was spoken with such a thundering passion and conviction that you felt like the Red Sea was being parted all over again in that very room. We could not have ben blessed with better people to take care of us as Dr. Emily and her husband William took us to an Ethiopian restaurant for lunch. They brought out the food on two giant pita style breads and in order to eat the food you had to peal off a piece of the bread and scoop up the meat. After lunch we were able to go to the Masai market for the first time and witness the insane confusion of bartering. Every which way we turned there was another salesman attempting to trade us something or begging us to make him an offer on his goods. It was nice though talking with the market people even after we would tell them we were just browsing for the day and didn't have any money. Everyone here is genuinely enthusiastic to learn more about where we are from or to teach us a little more about their own culture. As a team we have decided to run in a 4k in Nairobi on June 6th to raise money for BTL, which is an organization that translates the new testament into tribal languages of Kenya so the word of God may be spread even further. Well it has ben good catching you all up on the exciting things going on here abroad. Continue to pray for us, especially us non-runners in this race because I have a feeling we are going to come in last.
