I'm starting to catch a cold because the weather changes so much here. It's really cold in the morning and at night and it's really hot during the day. Today, Tuesday, I've been feeling really weak so I'm hoping that I'll get better by the end of the week. I went into school an hour late so I could rest more and that helped a little. I'm going on a tour Thursday so I'm trying to save up as much energy for that as possible. I can't believe I leave in two weeks.

We have a night school that teaches the Maasai men who were not able to attend school as children. I volunteered last night to help tutor and it was so great! The ages of men there last night ranged from 20-25 I believe. There were a lot who showed up so I wasn't able to learn about everyone. I helped one guy named Joseph with English 5 and Math 5. He did really good and was able to keep with the pace I set for him.

I just made it to Nairobi and it feels so surreal to be back in civilization! I saw myself in a mirror for the first time in 2 weeks and I'll just say I look really different... I'm so dark! I get to take a shower tonight and use electricity. I'm SO excited!!!!! This will probably be my last journal until I get to South Africa June 25. I love you guys and I hope everyone is doing great!!!
