I know it's not the greatest language, but I KNOW it!!!
I've never learned a new language before. It's hard! I did take Spanish in school, but we went at a much slower pace!!! Three hours a day is a LOT of information!!!! And, I like to really know one thing before moving on to something else. That's not possible at the pace! But, I've been assured I will learn it. I hope so! My head is about to explode!!!! Three hours with my teacher then studying for several more hours a day! It's been a long time since I had to study something. There's a reason I never had the desire to get my master's!!!!!
So, in case you're wondering...learning Swahili is filling most of my time now. Since I did not go away to language school, I am trying to focus hard on it now.
My schedule works great for now. I have Kiswahili lessons from 8-11:00, then go to New Life Home at 11:00. I spend a few hours there before going back home to study. I think that will be my routine for at least the next month. Nights are always busy doing something with some part of the family.
I LOVE going to New Life Home. If you read any of my blog last summer, it is the same place I talked about then, the AIDS/HIV orphanage. I had a video of it up for a long time. Maybe I'll find it again and re-post it.

Trena! I just checked your blog! I didn't know you were there. I'm so glad you finally made it back!
Please update me on the kids from New Life per e-mail if you have a chance. :)
Hey Trena!!
I'm loving you and praying daily for YOU! I know you are loving the time with the KIDS and I know you are such a blessing to each one there. I can't imagine how hard the new language is but what a relief as you begin to master it!

I'm so proud of you for persevering in learning Kiswahili. I totally understand your exhaustion. When i get back to Mombasa i'll be looking for my own language tutor also.
