Church


So when mzungus come into churches in rural Kenya, we have to give a speech...
I have been to church oh I do not know.. 5 times in my whole life!

This was my greeting to the church:
Mugani. Bwana asifiwe (Praise god.) Habari gani?
Jina langu ni Jordan.
Ninatoka Amerika jimbo la New York mji wa Buffalo.
Katika Amerika, mimi ni mwanafunzi wa education katika SLU.
Katika Kenya, mimi ni mwanafunzi wa kiswahili katika Nairobi.
I travel to Meru to live with Joshua and Monica. I am learning about the lives of the Meru.
Asante sana.

Even though I spoke in kiswahili, my friend Moreen had to translate into Kimeru. Gosh, will kiswahili ever be useful?

The service was interesting because they had amazing musical equipment. People sang and danced to African rhythms with Christian songs.

My sisters simply played on their cell phones haha.
