First Few Days

My first few days in Kenya have gone really well. We made it safely to Nairobi. We made all of our plane rides. The only trouble we had was from flying to Philadelphia to Amsterdam. Before we took off in Philadelphia, we were taxing to the runway they came over the speakers to tell us that there was going to be a delay. The pilot said that “sorry ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we are going to be delayed for a little while. There appears to be something on the runway stopping us from taking off. It appears to be a turtle.” We thought really a turtle? We in this big plane can’t take off because of a turtle? We had worried about volcanic ash closing the airport, but instead we get delayed for an hour because of a turtle. wow. We were able to make our Amsterdam flight in time even though we had to nearly run to make our flight. We made it to our gate with about 5 minutes to spare. Then we slept most of that flight and made it to Nairobi safely.

Our first few days have been great and filled. We have been able to deliver food to some of the schools we will for the rest of the summer. We have gone to meet some of the partners of Chris & Lindy’s ministry, the people we will be working along side for most of the summer. We have also been going and hanging out with the street boys. Hanging out with the street boys have been some of my favorite things to do. They just love to be around us. They also are very open and will say or ask whatever is on their mind. It is really awesome to hangout with them. They are just so happy that we are willing to come and hangout with them. I love it.

We have just been doing smaller things around the house getting ready for teams to come. We have been cleaning things, arranging things, and just doing small things around the house.

Things are going good. Thank you for your prayers, and please continue them. I will blog again later this week and include some pictures in that one.

Grace be with you.
