Yesterday (Tuesday) we had 6 Kenyan interns from the peds team and our friends Myeshia, Sarah, and Jenna over for dinner. I was pretty anxious about what to make and how to fit everyone. After much deliberation I decided to make pizza, pasta, sukuma wiki, pineapple, and brownies for dessert.

Our oven is small and can only fit one pizza at a time so I half-baked the crusts so it wouldn't take as long to cook, and pizzas would all be fairly warm by dinner time. I had everything prepped, all I had to do was turn on the oven and stove at 620 to warm eveything up and start the pizzas. Andy left to bring our guests to our house and I went to start warming/cooking the food. To my horror :) there was NO GAS. I panicked for a second then began calling every missionaries house I knew...No one was home. I ran outside and found Chuck who offered to let us borrow their small propane tank from their grill. After a short intermission we were back on track.

We had such a great time talking with the intern and learning about their families and how they came to Tenwek. It was interesting to hear their thoughts about their experiences at Tenwek. Andy has worked closely with all of them in the peds ward and will miss them.

24 hours later, and still have no gas! I called industrial in the morning and they said they had no gas, so they had to go to Bomet to get it. They took our tank, but they never did come back:) maybe tomorrow! Hopefully, we will need to cook soon, our leftovers won't last that much longer!

On a side note, it is funny the new words Arathena has learned while being here: Hand sanitizer and NICU
