And a little laughter.....Part 2

My team has reminded me of so many funny moments I forgot in Part 1, so I've decided to add a Part 2. So, for your enjoyment:

While on safari, our team was divided into 2 vans with 6 people in each van. Most of the time our 2 vans were together. At one point, some zebras crossed the road right in front of our van. Thinking our other van was behind us, I turned around and yelled "Why did the zebra cross the road?" Much to my embarrassment, the van behind us wasn't our group, but another group of people. They all smiled back at me as Mimi said, "Did you think that (pointing to the van behind us) was them (pointing to the van in our group in front of us?" Oh well!

Also while on safari, we had been stopped to watch some giraffes. When the van went to drive away, Adele waved goodbye to the giraffe. I'm sure the giraffe appreciated her farewell.

Yet another moment on safari, while at the hotel, we were all waiting in line at the pizza bar when Karisa struck up a conversation with one of the chefs. He asked her how long she was staying here and she told him just one night. He proceeded to ask where she was staying and she replied, "Kenya." Everyone in line, not just people from our group laughed at her expense.

Poor Justin has been suffering from a bad bout with diarrhea ever since eating the mystery meat on the first day in Kenya. He has been surviving on rice and crackers since we got here. He has been working on a name for his illness for 2 weeks now and finally named it "The Slum Bum" this evening. Enough said!

Yesterday during worship, one of the volunteers at the CCP Community Center grabbed Karissa's phone to video everyone in the room. Last night, while going through the videos, we discovered a 4 second video of me dancing like a white girl to "Father Abraham." I am a white girl!

While walking through the slums, we get a variety of reactions from people along the way. Jeanette was the first to encounter a drunk man that propositioned her for sex. She told him, "no thanks" and moved on. Not to be outdone, Mimi received a marriage proposal while walking in the slums. Her mother, Nancy, is also on the trip, but did not approve of the marriage.

Speaking of drunk people. As Karissa and I were walking through the slums with a CCP social worker, we came across a man that said he wanted to know all about Jesus. We were talking to him as we walked (hopeful to bring him to Christ), but he was insistent that we come to his house and talk to him. We explained over and over that we couldn't (not only did we know it wasn't safe, but we were already running late at returning to the Community Center), he finally gave up and walked away. Karissa and I were very disappointed to find out from the social worker, Lucy, that he was drunk and high on drugs. How did we not realize that???

Tonight, we all went out to dinner and were excited to hear some American music where we ate. Many on the team began dancing in their seats and singing along. Still wound up from the restaurant, we began singing to Stella in the van. We sang all the songs we've been singing at the community center as loud as we could. Stella was sad she didn't have her phone with her to record us and use it as her ring tone. We promised her that when she picks us up in the morning, we will give her an encore concert.

That's it for now, but you never know, there might be a part 3 since this barely puts a dent in all the funny moments.
