boring week

Not a lot went on this week. I spent an afternoon on Thursday teaching a mama how to make jewelry, well mostly how to design better looking jewelry. But it was a really great craft day. Other than that I mostly spent time in Turbo.  Im getting pretty known in Turbo. Which is good, so hopefully when my family comes to visit, it won't freak everyone out (as much) that there are "mzungu"in town.  On Saturday I went with Anastasia to her church for some Baptisms. They were done in the river right there in Turbo!
Then today (Sunday) I went to visit Suzi's sister.  I went alone since Suzi had to work. I thought I was going because her sister was sick, but really I think they tricked me into coming just to visit. I ended up sitting in church for over 3 hours, and I arrived late!

Religion is a huge part of peoples lives here. Almost everyone is in church on Sunday or Saturday, depending on their religion. I have still have not been to a catholic church here ( I know mom! dont be mad) But me going to church here is a little different than going back home. First off they always make me introduce myself to the entire congregation. Also since i'm usually the only white person, everyone comes up to me and asks me a billion of the exact same questions. And it's not just the first time I go, but EVERY time.  Also the services are mostly in Kiswahili, and although I do understand Kiswahili, it's hard to catch the entire thing. I know these are just excuses, but thats what I am going with.
 The church I went to today, was a pentecostal church. There was alot of yelling and screaming and it ended with them removing satan or demons from a girls body. It was actually kinda of horrific, but an experience nevertheless.

At the office tomorrow, then thinking about going to Kakamega for the day to go to the pool with Linds, sometime this week. Then Friday I am heading to Rusinga Island with the girls to help Izzy put on a girls empowerment camp! It will be a really good weekend.
