Well my week "off" flew by, like I knew it would. I was busy visiting and catching up with my friends and "family" in my village. I had a meeting on Tuesday with the committee about the family health day.  Its pretty much all planned, along with a menu. Here's the funny thing, its a day about how to live a healthy lifestyle, yet when it came to planning the menu, everyone but the community health workers and myself, didn't understand why we can't cook the traditional food in the traditional way. Well it's because the traditional way of cooking is cooking with a ton of salt and animal fat! How can we have a health day and then at the end serve foods fried in fat! After much arguing and reasoning, we came to an agreement. We will be doing beans and rice, and chai to top it off. The Chairman also thought since there will be visitors (my family) we should slaughter a goat for them.Well the chairman seems to think we have unlimited funds for this event, when in reality we're paying for this out of our own pockets, as well as a large "donation" from a unknown sponsor (myself).  I know my family will be happy with rice and beans! haha.

I also went to visit my friend in Kakamega for the day. We went to the pool and laid out and ate yummy food that we don't get very often. It was a good way to end the week.
Now I am back to work, the next month and a half are going to fly by and my family will be here before I know it! I hope they know how excited I am to get to share this huge part of my life with them!
