Safe in Nairobi

All of us are here in Nairobi except Greg- he arrives tonight. All of our bags AND the wheelchair we brought with us made it safely as well. Praise God!

Weather in Nairobi feels exactly like it did in Tacoma on Saturday when we departed: cool, cloudy, but sun breaks here and there. Very pleasant.

Karen & I are sharing a room at the Methodist Guest House (http://www.methodistguesthouse.org). We slept great last night until about 4:30am, and then proceeded to chuckle about all our tossing and turning and inability to get back to sleep.... We'll get our body clocks straightened out in another day or two.

On the agenda today: get shillings from the bank, get a phone to share amongst the group, and maybe visit some Nairobi attractions (Nyumbani AIDS Orphanage (http://www.nyumbani.org), Giraffe Center (http://www.giraffecenter.org), Nairobi Museum, Bomas of Kenya... we'll see how much time we have). I am also hoping to connect with my dear friend, Lucy Kayiwa today so we can have a good visit. Today or tomorrow we also hope to connect with Eric Gitonga, one of our ministry's original sponsored kids, who is now a college graduate doing an internship here in Nairobi with a travel company.

We are blessed to be here. Thanks for checking in!
