When I started this blog, I decided it would kinda be like my journal...my place to keep track of what is going on in my life. and I haven't done a very good job of that lately. partly because I am busy. and partly because I was in AFRICA! yep. I went there. to Kenya. for 2 and half weeks. and it was wonderful and amazing.
The people that we got to work with were some of the happiest, most giving, and most loving I have ever met. Their ever-present smiles and infectious optimism was inspiring in any situation. But they come from such poverty. They have nothing and yet they live their lives with a richness known to few in America. In Kenya, I was a much more joyful Cara than back in the States. Because they rub off on you. My sweet brother Ross came into our room one night and said "Cara...this is the happiest I have ever been." and it was true. there is something rejuvenating and cleansing about spending all day serving others, working with strangers who become friends, and discovering a piece of your heart that you never knew.
Much more about Kenya soon. and a bazillion pictures.
