I am in Nairobi! A short 36 hours from leaving home and a few re-directions on my flights I landed in Kenya. Unfortunately my bag didn't come along with me, but we have since been re-united. The whole team is here and healthy.
We went to see the Great Rift Valley and had some goat meat boiled with Kale for dinner. Something new for me.
I saw half a dozen Zebras standing along the highway as we were driving into town--another first for me!
We are staying in a Hostel and working with a Nairobi missionary named Dan this week. Today we are going to his son's first basketball game.
To introduce us to Kenya we were immersed into a game of The Amazing Race. We ran all over Nairobi using public transportation, our feet, and some little 'taxi' cars called "Matatu" they cost about 20 shillings (or 40 cents) per ride and can take you anywhere --until rush hour --then the whole city is grid locked and it is much faster to go by foot.
We ended on the rooftop of a very tall building with a wonderful view of the city.
My guide was a student at a local Bible College, He is training to be a Missionary!
Before bed we had a late dinner of pizza with steak topping. Very similar to your pizza --just different toppings offered.
Today is a shopping day. Time to find mosquito netting to sleep under, some LONG sleeve blouses and long skirts and head scarves. Shopping is a bit more fun in Kenya.
Your prayers are appreciated. There is a lot of outright spiritual warfare in this area as you can see by reading Fox news stories of Kenya. I will post as often as I can -- it depends on access to the internet.
What will GOD have for me today?
