Hi there! I'm back in Nairobi now. It's really nice and sunny now, but today it was freezing! After 6:00 pm and before 7:00 am its pretty chilly here! The temperature is atually really close to Minnesota summer temperature, but its winter here right now. My host family is great!! My mom is so cute! When she arrived at the pick up place she said "Where is my girl?" and then gave me a big hug. When we got to the house, she prayed for us and then showed me around the house. I have my own room, which is really spacious AND I have a queen sized bed!! Upgrade from my own bedroom at home, haha. We then had tea and chatted while listening to American rap music. Kanye West came on and it was so great to hear something familiar from home! One of my host brothers came home and we watched some show that was like sports center together and awkwardly made small talk. Violet told me that he doesn't talk much, to which I said, "That's ok, I don't talk that much either, and I'm scared of boys" She thought it was hilarious...She also thinks its really funny when I talk about Jackson (my dog). Violet and her husband own a small stand that sells credit cards and they also own a small grocery shop. Both of my host brothers live at home too. George is going to college and studying business, and michael works at a bank. I think that's about it for now :)
