[ TRANSITIONING ]

Transitioning can usually be a very difficult time. It is hard to literally move to another continent that has totally different rules, cultures, languages, and other things. Fortunately, my transition overall has been very positive. Especially since I have been to Africa before it made things much, much easier. I am still transitioning now, but I believe it is the fun part! :)

Today, I had a driving lesson with a friend here at Rosslyn. Kerry took upon herself to help me not only how to drive manual, but how to drive with the shifter on the left side and me sitting on the right. Luckily this came easy for me since I am left handed. The problem will be when I go back to the states and try to drive! I only spent an hour out there till she trusted me to begin driving by myself on the rosslyn camps. Soon, she will take me out on the roads for some real driving!

The second fun thing in transitioning is language! I absolutely love learning Swahili. Yes, for an american it is difficult to learn it. But once you begin speaking to kenyans in their language a whole new level of respect comes in. I am already having a positive response with kenyans since I am trying to learn and speak to them, even if its the basic stuff right now.

Well, keep checking back! God is moving here in east AFRICA!
