Forever

It's been forever. I'm sorry I've been so silent. It's not for lack of things to talk about or thinking about updating this blog. It's for lack of time because I have so much going on. I'm not going to try to go into all the details but here are a couple of the important things:

Nimo (that's me…at least that's what most of my friends call me) has a BOYFRIEND. (Picture coming soon…or check out my facebook albums, his pictures is the album cover for the last album I created). His name is William something something Mwaura (there is another funny Kikuyu name there in the something somethings that I can never remember). No one calls him William…he goes by Billy, Bill, Willie, Mbiro, or Mwaura. Personally, I prefer Mbiro (Mm-be-row). He is 25 years old, an intern at Nairobi chapel (my church) working in the youth department, he is a sound engineer, loves kids and youth, most importantly loves God will his whole heart, likes experimenting with funny recipes (kind of like a certain brother of mine used to), loves dancing, music, and having fun. There is so much I could say about him, but those are the basics. Oh and this is a very officially approved relationship…my parents, his parents, our pastors, and our friends.

Moving on to a different topic (since I could talk about the other one for hours). I spent last week traveling around Kenya. I visited Eldoret, Kitale, and Kisumu. I hadn't been to Kitale in six years, so it was very nice being there again. I was traveling with K-Krew and World Vision helping (meaning taking photos and doing whatever else I could) with the Amani Milele Concert Tour. World Vision funded a small tour to promote peace in Kenya (Amani Milele means Peace forever). They brought in a musician from Rwanda who experienced the genocide there and a girl from Kosovo who went through the war there. It was a very enjoyable and beneficial time (except that I got sick in Kisumu).

Next week I'm going to Uganda…FINALLY! I get to add a new country to my list of countries visited! I'm going with a group of 20 youth from my church. We will be going to a camp then doing missions work. We'll be out of Kenya for a total of 10 days. (and yes, Mbiro is going too!). I'm excited and I'm very grateful because God provided the needed money (I'm very grateful to those who helped God provide!). Now I just have to figure out the visa situation but hopefully that won't be a problem.

What else? There are so many things that I think I will just stop with the big things and leave the others for later.
