really, it's true
I'm in the middle of writing a longer post about our first couple of days with the children, but in the meantime here's a fun fact: Kenyans love their TV dramas, but the most-watched television programs in the country are not recycled American soap operas as you might expect. Instead, the most popular shows (by far and away) are Spanish Telenovelas, poorly dubbed in English. I'm not kidding. There's one on in the room right now and Justin seems quite engrossed :-P

Juan was about to find out that Fernando had killed Isabella! It was an intense scene! I also feel the need to point out that you, sir, are now the one planted firmly in front of the TV.
ReplyDeleteNot quite the posting I've been so eagerly awaiting... I'm sure we'll soon receive news of children receiving the gospel and gifts, of changed lives and profound lessons learned.... Right?...
ReplyDeletePastor David/Dad to 1/3 of the telenovela mission team...
maybe this is God's way of letting you know that your next missions trip will be to share the Love of Christ with señoritas in Venezuela. I'm down for that trip.

Justo- please stop watching the telenovelas and start acting in them. People would be shocked to know how amazing you are at that!
