So, as you can see, I have been back from Kitale for almost a week and I'm just now writing this post. I'm sorry. But is it not true, my mind's time was better spent in Kitale than on my blog?! Looking back at my last post- I think I was delerious.
There are so many things I could say about Kitale.
I could say that is it one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
I could say, Christian or not, God has his hands placed on the people of that town.
I could say that I fell in love with the street children.
I could say that I wanted more time.
In the few weeks that I spent in Kitale, my heart broke in ways that it had never been broken before. If you didn't already catch on the last three weeks of my life have been spent in Kenya. The first in Nairobi. The second in Kitale with a team of 10 Americans and 10 Kenyans. And the third just Allison and I and 30 humans I had never met before. The last week was given solely to Oasis. Oasis of Hope is a center for street children to go and just be kids for four hours out of their day. Their main goal is to feed the kids, but they also provide an education and a safe place to be for a few hours of their week. Over the past couple of years, Oasis has become home to 22 boys and a mean of survival for about 100 street children. I don't know what else to say about this place, except for that it stole my heart. Our days were filled with happiness and our nights were filled with green grams and chapati. Posting my 700 pictures on both here and facebook would kill me so either check out my facebook or read Allison's blog of our full three week stay here:

Thank you thank you thank you for all of your support. I love you guys and want my two worlds that I love to combine so I can be apart of them both every day.
Nakupenda sana sana (I love you VERY much).
Hope fully the next time I write on this blog it will be in preparation for my next trip to Kenya.
Tuonana baadaye! (See you later!)
