In Bungoma

I was just thinking, "Man, the internet has been a lot faster than it was when I was here last," when a handful of people walk into the internet cafe and muscle in on my bandwidth. O well, it's still not too bad.

Just had my first ride in a matatu. For those of you that don't know, a matatu is a minivan taxi that packs people in like sardines. It's cheap, but not very comfortable. The lord told me to ask him for a car while I was still in the states a week ago. "God, I'd like that car now."

Everything has been great so far. Noah and his family have been wonderful. They've welcomed me like family. Life here is going to take some getting used to, but I'll adjust quickly.

I'm planing on getting a phone while in town today and pick up a few other little things. So I'll try to give you a call tonight (or morning for you) mom.

Bye!

YMCA

Back at the YMCA hostel in Nairobi. Feels like I was just here. Well, I guess it was only a few months ago. I do miss having Jason and Nathan around. It can get a little lonely traveling alone. I can't wait to get out of Nairobi. I've never been fond of any big cities, and this one is no exception.

Well I just popped in to make this quick post cuz I can. I may end up in a cyber cafe before I know it so it may not be too long before my next post. Don't expect me to write on this thing all the time though because the novelty will probably wear off soon.

So far everything's going great. I can feel the favor of the Lord. I'm getting up around 4am so I give myself plenty of time to make my flight in the morning. I'm getting kinda sleepy so I'm going to head off to my room.

Nite

Well...here we go!

OK. So I'm at Heathrow in London. Have a couple of hours before I board.

Life has been pretty crazylately. Trying to get ready for a trip like this. It was quite difficult to say, "goodbye" to everyone. Yes, I know it's just, "see you later," but that doesn't make it any easier. Once I walked through the security checkpoint in LAX all the madness came to a screeching halt. All I could do was wait then.

The plane ride was as good as it gets, in economy anyway. There was an open seat next to me so I could stretch out. Every on this Virgin flight was just a little better than my British Airways flight last trip. So there's my plug for Virgin Atlantic.

I am currently typing this entry on the laptop my wonderful boss Jerry gave me. Thanks Jerry! Thank you so much to everyone that has blessed me in any way for this journey. I couldn't do it without you. Please remember to keep me in your prayers everyday. They are so important.

I love you all. I will try to get some emails out as soon as I get some stuff situated.

See you later!
