TIA-This is Africa

So we are here!! I've been saying since committing to going on this trip to getting off the plane in Africa that "It hasn't hit me yet that we are going"... well it's hit me:) words can't express how awesome of a time I've already had in the first week being here! Our days consist of a lot of sweat, work, laughing, visits, EATING, and naps. We have eating a lot of foods from the African culture and  some that ...resemble some American food haha but overall VERY FILLING!
I can't imagine what we would do without our YFC team here in Liberia. They are incredible making sure we keep safe and delivering us to the places we need to go. Thank you !

So far we have been able to get to our worksite and clean out all the bush and trees with the help of our workers. It's been hot but free from rain as well so that is a blessing! Greta, Don, and I have all gotten the opportunity to ride a tricycle taxi aka a KK! Tania soon will get her opportunity! It was super fun and interesting to see the looks we were getting! Haha
We have also met with a lady named Dietta. She runs and funds the school all by herself! Taking children off the streets that can't afford school or are orphans and putting them into her free tuition school. She has such a wonderful heart and needed to be blessed for her efforts. We brought her school supplies for the kids that she teaches. We also brought our medical supplies to the local clinic. They were so greatful for the supplies. They gave us a tour of the clinic and what they do to help their people.
It's truly been a great experience so far and can't wait to see what the rest of the trip has in store for us!:) #TIA

Bye for now!
