Kenyan Favorites?

Whats my favorite part about Nairobi, Kenya? I was asked this last night by wonderful Amanda Ziddell and it took me a second to think. After I answered she asked what was the hardest thing to get used to? Again I took a second to think and came to the conclusion that my answer was the same for both questions. My favorite thing about Kenya is nothing abstract, deep, or even probably unique. My favorite thing about Kenya is being in Kenya. My favorite thing about Kenya is walking down the street with 100 other people who you can tell are fighting for every breathe. My favorite thing about Kenya is smelling burning trash and other many funky smells. My favorite thing about Kenya is being put into unimaginable situations in which you don't know what todo, but it always ends in a good story. My favorite thing about Kenya is leaving church with the heal of my shoe covered in mud (and coming to conference having forgotten to clean the shoes!) My favorite thing about Kenya is sitting in a matatu waiting for it to leave for 45 minutes. My favorite thing about Kenya is not being able to go to McDonalds. My favorite thing about Kenya having time to stop and smell the purpleorangegreenyellowpink flower, my favorite thing about Kenya is walking in the slums and hearing kids yell "Mzungu Mzungu", My favorite thing IS KENYA

While all of these are now my favorite things, and frankly my list could go on until it never ends, 99.9% of these things are what made living in Kenya the hardest - But Oh does God know! God DOES know!
