Sorry I didn't post this sooner, but for those who haven't heard, we made it safely back from Kenya! It was definitely a long flight and a long trip home but it's been great to be home and to get to see friends and family. Again, thank you so much for your prayers and support. We couldn't have done it without you!

See You Soon!

We have had a good last few days but I think it is safe to say we are ready to come home and see all of you guys! We had another amazing time at St. Andrews church yesterday where we got a home cooked Kenyan meal for lunch and then got so spend some time in fellowship with some of the other young adults from the church. It is so great to get to see that despite the differences God's love lets us have so much in common with the young people at a church half way across the world.

Sunday night we had the amazing privilidge of eating at a place called the Carnivore. It is a restaurant where they bring around big kebabs of all different kinds of meat to your table, and then slice off a big slab of whatever it is. We had just about everything: pork, chicken, beef, steak, lamb, ribs, ostrich, and all of the different combinations and variations you could think of. It was definitely a great African experience.

Today (Monday 6th) we had the opportunity to help out with the VBS at St. Andrews. Although maybe a little bit different and less organized than we were used to, we still had a great time helping out and getting to play with the kids.

The rest of today and tomorrow we will be packing and debriefing about the trip, making sure that we realize how great of an opportunity it is to be here. We have learned a lot on this trip and so we want to remember it and let it affect the way we live our lives once we get home.

Parents, our flight leaves Nairobi late Tuesday night, and we are scheduled to get in at 1:10 pm at Lax on Wednesday, British Airways flight # 279. Please pray for us as we travel home and we'll see ya soon!

p.s. I tried to upload a new picture but the internet has been giving me fits here. See ya in 2 Days!

Only a Few Days Left!

It is Saturday afternoon and we are back from Mt. Kenya/Equator area. We were able to do a few fun things like go to the equator and stand on it with one foot in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern.

We also had a great opportunity to play some sports while we were there. We played volleyball with some a church where Solomon's brother is the pastor, and were able to see what God has been doing there and able to encourage them there. On Friday we played soccer against some girls and guys who are former street kids who have come to Christ and although we didn't win, it was a lot of fun. They were very encouraged to get to play with us and hang out with us.

We got back into Nairobi earlier this afternoon and headed to the Masai market (open air market) where we got to bargain for a few more souvenirs. Tomorrow we will go back to St. Andrews for church and help prepare for VBS that they are having this next week. Then on Monday we will help out with the VBS.

Thank you so much again for your prayers and love that you keep sending our way. We all can't wait to see you guys in a few days!

Asante sanna Yesu! (thank you Jesus in Swahili)

p.s. Jeramy has made it safely to Nairobi and it's been a great encouragement to have him here!

Heading to Mt. Kenya area and the Equator

The time going to the safari was amazing! We drove for 2.5 hours and got to spend a little time in a a small village in the Masai area, where we were able to encourage a small but growing church. We also got to play a game of football (soccer) with them, which was a lot of fun.

Next we went to the Kilaguni Lodge for the Safari. It was amazing! The hotel itself was super nice and a good change from the Y with hot showers and great food. Also the main eating and lobby area of the hotel faced a watering hole where all kinds of animals came and went, such as Elephants, zebra, baboons, wildabeasts, and more. Our safari time was great as well. We saw giraffes, gazelle, impala, and even a crocodile and some hippo. It was a great experience and we are thankful for having the chance to see it.

Today we are heading to Mt. Kenya area and the equator. We will be doing some sports ministry stuff there. Pray for that and for safe travel.
