Happy Easter!

Today has been a pretty relaxing day. I have all my clothes clean, (as clean as a mzungu can get them washing them by hand), my bed is clean, and all my stuff is organized. It hasn't been like that in awhile. I'm so busy all the time. I really only have about two hours of free time from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM. It's crazy. Sometimes it's hard for me to hear God's voice when I'm caught up in all the busyness. Someone once told me that BUSY stands for Buried Under Satan's Yoke. That's so true at times. One of my favorite things in Africa is the corn. They BBQ it, and it's white corn, so it's really sweet. My friend Anu and I love it. We often go to Boma to get it. It's so nice to have something different for a change. The weekends here are always so quiet. I feel like I'm here and about four other people are here as well. That's not the truth, it's just that that's how quiet it is here. One of these days I'm going to take a picture of my feet. Some of my friends joke with me that I have village girl feet, which is definitely not a compliment. I'm starting to speak African English now, which means that my English vocabulary is slowly diminishing. Wow, at least I still have that big word. The other day, our teacher, who speaks very big English words and expressions, was trying to explain to the class what sugarcoating an issue means. I didn't get what he was meaning until he explained it to the full extent. It was awful! That was when I knew that it's changing and dwindling. AAHHH! I'm going to come back to America and you won't be able to understand me! I speak Kiswanglish now. It's a mix between Kiswahili and English.
I shall write more later. My body is falling asleep from being on the computer for so long.

Mungu aku Bariki!
God Bless You!

Love,
Jessica

Liffe is Here!

So, what can I say? I've been having hard times here. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that things have been going wonderfully, but God keeps bringing me back to Him. This week we are talking about pride and humility and the heart of servanthood. I've found out that I'm a failure in these areas, but it's okay, because God will work on me in this. Please be praying for me that I will grow closer to God during this time. I've received the packages from home. THANK YOU! I'll blog later when I don't feel like my eyeballs are about to fall out.
God Bless You!
