Did you notice that I called her Kendi in my entire post below? There's a reason for that! I talked to our administrator today and found out that the staff at Eban House have started to call Mabel Kendi! I had shared with Muna about her new name (because we are friends). When we were skyping today she said something about "Kendi's labs" and I inquired. Muna said that when I told her about the name she thought it was pretty so she just decided they would start calling her Kendi now. It's not at all uncommon for our Eban kids to pick up nick names that are completely different from their "real" names, so I guess it didn't seem like a big deal to Muna.
I am very happy about this, although it was also very unexpected. I realized that when I was talking/thinking about her being HOME I called her Kendi. But when I was talking/thinking about things happening in Ghana with her I would refer to her as Mabel. Now she has the same name in both places and my mind can quit being so split!
