I am 16 and last summer i went on a month long mission trip to Kenya, and I was transformed. I fell in love with everything about that place, the children, the smell, how vividly I can see the lord in the Kenyans eyes, just everything. While there I did learn a bit of swahili, and I just love that this necklace says Nakumpenda, i love you. I would LOVE to somehow get this necklace for myself and for my sister in christ that i met on my trip, who is now my best friend. Would you be able to tell me how I can buy this necklace or something? I love the story behind this as well, God acts in crazy ways =) God bless!Emily Herrinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-23821514979323884942010-09-29T16:00:23.170-04:002010-09-29T16:00:23.170-04:00Sniff.

Of course, I was worried I wouldn't win, and that is why I decided to share the link). I'm glad that I could be a teeny little part of the story of the Africa necklaces! I LOVE the connection between you and your Mom, and I understand it because I am lucky enough to share the same bond with my own mother! I think the BEST part of this story is the fact that you are both able to have a little reminder of Africa to wear near your heart while helping an even bigger project in Africa at the same time....so cool!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230168502368425308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4419239976631731952.post-16621001547555174312010-09-17T22:16:27.861-04:002010-09-17T22:16:27.861-04:00Oh wow, what a great, great story.

I think it's because you let things touch YOUR heart, and then you share from that tender space. Love your necklace!
