Made it, safe and sound....and tired




Hi EveryoneWe have arrived safe and sound in Kenya. After our night flight from London to Nairobi, and then a 4 hour lay-over, we took a small prop plane to Kisumu (only a 45 minute flight). We were then picked up by our Kenyan partners Edgar and Richard. Considering pretty minimal sleep during the 2 solid days of travel, all team members were in remarkable shape - chipper even!

After lunch in Kisumu, we drove through the city an amazing city with a population of about 800,000 - an overwhelming number of bicycles & people & cattle. We drove past one of the largest markets in all West Africa.
Our drive led us to our guesthouse for the night - called "Hillside Villa" - no kidding. It's a beautiful setting, complete with a very friendly staff, roaming chickens & a gate guarded by a Masai warrior. We're hearing great stories of what God is doing in our village area of Boro... we go there tomorrow.

How neat that we can keep track of you, team. Jessie and I are sitting here, eating tootsie roll after tootsie roll, reading about your arrival and checking out the pics.

Thinking of you. Praying for you. And can't wait to hear about all that is yet to come!

Heavenly Father, set Your name apart!

Beni and Diana,
We are happy to hear that all of you arrived safe and well in Kenya. We enjoyed the pictures with all of you waiting for the luggages ...hopefully you did not expect the carousel to bring the luggages to you?! :-)

Keep your spirit high and your enthuziasm alive so that all your wishes and helping can become reality and be acomplished as planned.
We are all thinking of you!

Hi Carol,

I'm glad to see you arrived safe and looking well.
I like that sign you're standing near waiting for your luggage :)
