6 weeks already

Jambo
Well its been 6 weeks already where is time going? the Bible reading i read, at my last service in bradwell was true - i will be back soon.
In this month i have learnt alot already and God is opening up new experiences each day. Especially how to cook !! - don't worry I'm only helping in preparing chopping grating carrots cabbage tomatoes onions.
Today Friday 13 July i was speaking with Rev David (at the home) and he said he is very happy with what I'm doing and i am different (not sure what he meant) but that was encouraging I'm getting involved with the Church in Kaaga mainly singing at the front, not yet played my guitar but i have made it known!! also Sunday afternoons the youth (yes that me too) started meeting and trying out new songs out of songs of fellowship some of them are even new to me!!
Well this month weather wise oh my we've gone through fog mist wearing jumpers trousers to being hot all in one day. They did say welcome to July the coldest month they weren't wrong!!
The home I'm settling in have given me a new name (sorry mum dad) I'm now called Makena which means happiness so that again has helped.
Its been a very busy 1st month with a busy timetable OK mostly at the home or CCM Township programme, and theres more to see as time goes on i will hopefully visit.
Asante sana for all your emails calls texts and post. Also for all your concerns and prayers. I am doing OK and getting used to their ways.
Today i have ventured to the post office, into Meru town wandered around soaking in the atmosphere, met a few people I've come to known since being here Emmanuel, Joseph, the shop guy who sells occasionally at the home, but to be honest names i cant remember so that was good to stop and chat with people staring but never mind.
I'm still getting used to the children's names let alone adults!!

Also want to take this time and congratulate a few people Christopher on gaining his HND from Swansea uni, James on his driving test, Rev Jenny and Rev Kate on their ordination and Rev Jenny on gaining her BA. You all have worked hard and been through so much You all deserve ii WELL DONE (celebrate when i return)

Love you all, God bless Joanne (Makena)
