Woke up with tears in my eye's today. My heart is breaking. How can I leave these kids? I cant remember the last time something has had this much impact on me. Tonight I will sleep over at Mercy Home for the last time and soak it all in. Dane, Trudy, Graham and Brenda and I are leaving on Thursday for Nairobi for a few days then Mauritius on the 1st then back to Nairobi for our flight back home.
Over These past five months we have made a collection of some of the best quotes (mostly from Trudy) here they are
"Lord, help us find more buyers, because they're good little chickens and they need to be slaughtered"
- Trudy during prayer
"where is that grown again?"
-David (in reference to Jamaican blue mountain coffee)
"The mzungu chickens (white people's chickens) are living in better house then we are."
- workers on the new chicken house
" It's just one of those things I don't want to know and I don't want to ask."
- Trudy (in reference to why Jon was at the lady's mama's bible study
" Dane, stop talking, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about."
-Trudy
" You cannot get lost in the daytime"
-Police officer in matissi (while we were lost)
" I am sure that I am always perfect"
Laban
"they don't have a pee to pot in!"
-Trudy
" it was just one of those slips of the tum"
-Trudy
" David when is your tomato going to come?"
-Little Hawa at Mercy home ( the word for grandma in swahili is the same word for tomato in swahili)
" SO I want to get to Mercy Home either before lunch or after Lunch"
-Dane
" Dane were picking song number 40, F-0"
-trudy
" She was hanging on him like a yo-yo"
