June 7th

Today we started our day with Swahili lessons. Chris taught us sentence structure. Our second day of Swahili and we are learning sentence structure and not just general vocab haha. After an hour and a half of new words we have A LOT to study and learn. Sentence structure is sort of confusing to learn and there is a lot to it, but we are gettin it sorta.


  • Example: Ndovu anjuuya ya meza 
  • Translated: The elephant is on the table
I know, I know its not a realistic sentence but still. He also got us two Swahili learning study books (1st grade books lol), an English to Swahili Dictionary, two books with just Swahili sentences for us to read, and a newspaper. 

After Swahili lessons we continued with coloring the curriculum for the Sunday school classes. It takes us about 3 hours to color a 20 page book then another half hour to glue it to poster board. 

After that we ate lunch and just hungout. We went out into the yard and did some core workouts then played with the dogs and chased the birds. Danika also became quite interested in a funny blue lizard that climbed on the tree and bobbed its head at us. 
Tomorrow we have Swahili then we are going out to lunch with missionary Connie. 
Thursday we are going to the Bible Institute to teach one of the lessons that we colored. 
And thats how our day was. How was yours??



These are giant birds that we saw only in Nairobi.

This is one of the traditional Swahili choirs at church on Sunday.

This is a dinosaur bird at Randy and Phyllis' house. 

Danika took this pretty picture.
