So as i said we were learning some Swahili-some we can use and some that is not useful but very funny to us so here is another phrase we have learned...
nawesa pata ati ati? which translates-- may i have a what what?? As you know the matatus are filled with music much of which is rap and so we thought that phrase can i get a what what was appropriate; however, that doesnt really translate exactly so we have may i have a what what!! Same difference and it provides a great deal of laughter which is awesome and makes what could be difficult situations somehow seem lighter. Have we told you how great the guys we work with are?? Oh and we are also trying to teach them a little spanish which is fun and they happen to be very quick learners and even make up their own words such as friesta which is a combination siesta (nap) and free time. It works and we enjoyed a nice friesta today.
God is working here and some huge things are happening and we are also having a great time which we want to share some of that with you.
Much love!!
