Harambee Stars 2, Mozambique 1

So there surely has been a lot of exciting events since my last post! But, by far, the best thing was attending the Kenyan National soccer game. Their team name is the Harambee Stars! They had been on a 2 game losing streak, but (due to our attendance, haha) they were able to pull out with the win yesterday! It was so exciting to see the commodore around the game! It seems that everyone in Kenya is a futbol fan! for some reason, they only sold 6,000 tickets for the game yesterday, even though the stadium holds 30,000. So due to this, the stadium was very empty, butthe people that did attend were very into the match. Many fans paint their entire body and have very loud noise makers. Because I'm not a huge soccer fan, I didn't really know what to expect. BUTTT I had a great time none the less! Kenya ended up winning 2-1, in a thrilling match! We were video-taped at one point because we were some of the only mzugus there. They love talking to us, and "welcoming" us to Kenya! The tickets were so cheap; if any tickets were that cheap for professional (or college) games in the US, I would be at every single game. I paid 300 shillings which is equivalent to about $4 US.

As far as the ministry goes, it's going well. I still haven't had the opportunity to meet with my girls because they've either been out of town or too busy with exams, but now they're done! So we'll have much more time with them, and we already have been having more fun with them! Friday night we got to hang out pretty late with a group of the students, and we had so much fun getting "chips" and ice cream. It's going to be a tiring 2 weeks that we have left, but I'm so ready for it!
