Headed to the Coast.....

Hello to everyone who is experiencing a cold winter in the states....I am writing to gloat about my trip to Mobasa....that i will be leaving for with in the next few hours!!! HAHAHA!  I am very excited!  We are taking a cab from the volunteer house in spring valley at 9 to our bus stop and will be taking a 8 hour bus ride across kenya to Mobasa over night!  We arrive at 6 a.m. and are staing on the South Coast in Diani Beach Chalets! RIGHT ON THE BEACH!  I plan to binge eat and lay by the beach for 4 days non stop!  I will be sure to wriet in detail how amazing it is when i get home!
 
I have three weeks left as well and although some days are truly a struggle time is flying by and going faster each day.  El SHaddai is going great.  I spent the whole week at teh Pre School with the little 3 and 4 year olds who dont speak much english at all.  So its been a struggle but a great challenge that i am loving.  I am teaching them the alphabet and numbers 1 through 20!!! Its tough but going as well as it can!  THere is one little girl that i love so much i want to bring her home so badly....her name is Elizabeth and she is 3 but before i came had never spoke a word.  they thought somethign was wrong with her...but today i was able to get her to say A B C! 
 
I was so excited i burst into tears right then and there.....she is adorable.  So yes there are days when everything is worth it and then....there are days that i cry and want to board my plane.
 
Today was good....plus i am on my way to Mombasa!
 
Will write again soon!
