Sleep...

Hello Readers!!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers :) I appreciate every single one of them. I wanted to let you all know that the past three nights have been great!! I have slept through them all and.....this past night I slept for....11.5 hours!!!!! It was super wonderful :)

The days are good too. Mostly filled with four feedings for the babies, if I don't miss one.
  • They do not ask me for help here, I can only help if I offer.
  • So like this morning, I slept in, so I missed the morning feeding
  • also, they run on "Kenyan time" (similar to "Mexican time" for those who have expereinced that) so the feedings aren't at the same time each day, so I have been working on timing it right
This morning I played with the toddlers, which was fun. Although I don't know any of their names, and they have NO IDEA what I am saying to them, hahaha, but I enjoyed it. The kids absouletly LOVE anyone who will spend time with them. I went into their "playpen", which I will hopefully post pictures of tomorrow, and sat down. Immidiately I had three kids sitting in my lap, one on my back and another playing with my necklace :) it was super cute. They are pretty mean to eachother though...because they aren't watched at all times and not disciplined either I don't think. But it is crazy, when one of the "Moms" says something to them is Kiswahili, they listen immediately!!

I am getting very attached to one little baby :) his name is  Edward and he is just over a month old I think. He is SUPER cute!! I will try to put up more pictures and one of him too.

It has been hard to update today, because the power keeps coming on and off which means the WIFI does the same. It is crazy because when the power has been going off lately (at least once a day, usually more) the WHOLE city loses power...and it is not like there is ice on the power lines, or lightning, it just goes out.

The last three days have been gloomy and rainy in the afternoon and evenings though, which effects my mood, which sucks. If you could please pray that I would remain sunny even when it is cloudy outside I would appreciate it :) but the forcast is 27deg for the next several days after today!!

I hope you guys are all doing well :) I love you all and I am very thankful for the part that you have played in God's journey for me.

Love: Rach :)
