Greetings from Iringa!
Lately I have been keeping myself very busy between Neemah, Huruma Center, and trying to meet people. I enjoy spending time at Neemah and working on the mosaic so any spare time I have, I've been going there. We are having a lot of fun and almost done with the first one!
At Huruma Center, computer classes are going slowly. One child is very interested and sometimes he is the only one, but that is also easier sometimes. If it isn't computer time, I do my best to play with the children or do math or english since those are the only 2 things I can understand!
My Swahili is still lacking! I study but I still have no skill in speaking the language. I'm still trying but it is quite the challenge!
I haven't been feeling very well the last week so that slowed me down a lot. I didn't make it to Huruma one day and I've been sleeping a lot but I think I'm almost done with it so this week should be good again!
Last weekend I went to the top of Gangilonga rock. It was about a 25 minute walk from my house and it overlooks Iringa. It was absolutely gorgeous and it was something different to do. I'm trying to find and take any opportunity I can to spice up my time here and make it the best I can!
Things are going well, I'm doing good, and enjoying what I do! I thank you so much for all of your prayers and support, I know they are helping me get through this amazing experience!
Peace and Blessings,
Jenny
