Karibu Kenya!

I journeyed over Mediterranean Islands...

I've made it to Kenya.  The journey was long but enjoyable; I had a lot of time to think and pray on the 7 and 8 hour flights, and was even able to meet some people along the way.


It is a strange feeling going to bed 8,000 miles from the people you know and not knowing anyone where you are.  I was especially grateful in that moment to serve "El Shalom," the God of Peace.

...across the Sahara Dessert... 

Jet-lag is an interesting feeling (kind of like the morning after that sleepover where you only sleep 30 minutes), but today has been good.  I am learning a lot.  Nairobi is very much like a normal city (although it takes some getting used to driving on the left side of the road!).  I am excited to get to know the Kenyan people, and in a few days I will be moving into the home of one of the pastors of AIC Plainsview.

...and finally saw the lights of Nairobi.

Some things to continue praying about:

-Continuing transition (with a new time zone, different culture and moving in with my host family)

-For humility as a learner and not to worry about making mistakes


Thank you all for your prayers for traveling safety as well as for peace and comfort.
