yet another incredible day.

I finally got to go back to teaching my class this morning! I was at the Dome by 7:30am (an hour early) and warmed up some of the kids that were there, then while they did yoga I started going to a kenyan sign language class.

A lot of the dancers/ acrobats at Sarakasi are deaf, and Belle known american sign language so I feel like learning sign language is perfect to do while I'm here- and it's awesome

James teaches the class which was great and I learned so so so much, I'm much quicker at picking up sign language than I am Kiswahili, but hey i'm still working hard on both.

After that class I went to finish teaching the acrobats- it ended early because of an event happening at the Dome but that was ok- I was so happy to be back I missed my kids AND THEY MISSED ME which was way cooler than me missing them.

some of the kids were picked to go to this international event at the UN next weekend, which I'm so proud of- they work so hard.

After class James invited me to go with the deaf dancers to this deaf event/ fashion show where they were performing.

With James being busy this forced me to sign  AND I DID- i had to spell out a lot of things, but i was able to hold conversations with all of the deaf dancers, it was so incredible. their performance was awesome too.

After they performed I went outside to talk with James and he insisted that he show me how to "fly" aka do partner acrobatics (or acro-yoga?) with him. Which was crazy- i did things i didn't think was humanly possible. and i got to tumble with a few of the people from sarakasi. it was awesome. and i got one hell of a workout and stretch. and continued to sign with everyone. and i got a kenyan sign name!!!

after we got back to sarakasi i headed home just to have an awesome meal cooked by Nyos and Belle, and Aliya came over for dinner.

I'm currently waiting for the hot water to head up so I can take a shower.

But today has been another awesome day. just confirming how much i love it here. it was much needed too, i've been in a bit of a slump since rural week and slowly regaining my enthusiasm and strength, but today really pulled me up and out of it. i'm back to how i felt day 1.

don't forget to smile today! (i know i haven't stopped since i woke up)
