Hi All!
Greetings from Nairobi. After a very long journey, we are here, safe and sound. We left Madison from Blackhawk on Friday afternoon. We then took a bus to O'hare in Chicago. We had about a 7 hour flight to London. Our flight from London to Nairobi took a little over 8 hours. We arrived at the airport here in Nairobi a little after 9pm their time Saturday (which is 1pm Madison time). Praise God -- all our luggage arrived! We are all still trying to adjust to the time change and finding ourselves a little tired this afternoon.
This morning, we went to church at Nairobi Chapel. We attended a service that they have called ''Xpressions''. It is geared toward youth and was complete with a DJ and turntable. It was incredibly lively and energetic. The highlight for me was doing the ''cha-cha'' slide along with the rest of the congregation and the pastor, Oscar Muriu. I was surprised to see how similar Blackhawk and Nairobi Chapel are. They are also relocating to a new facility in September and are in the midst of exciting things that God is doing.
All in all, our time here so far has been very enjoyable. Tomorrow we will be going to Beacon of Hope for a tour and to meet the staff there. Thank you for all your support and prayers.
