Well, I'm sitting at Melissa and Jolyn's house in Moshi, Tanzania right now. Two girls from Cali that are living here working with GCM. Moshi is at the base of Kilamanjaro and the view of the mountain is amazing today. It's still all like a dream. I thought once I got here it would all kinda hit me...but its still sureal. It took a looooong time to get here. With the traveling, layovers and delays it took about 48 hours. While we were waiting in for our plane to Tanzania I got to know this lady from Tokyo that works with World Vision. Her name is Mami. She had a pretty bad cold so I prayed for her and God totally healed her. It was awesome. We're running on very little sleep but we're all feelin great. We're staying at a nice little hostel next to the compound we came to check out. We had a great breakfast at a Lutheran hostal accross the street from where we're staying. The weather is beautiful. It's like low to mid 80's and sunny. The wildlife is amazing. The people are very nice. We'll be here for about 3 days while we handle our business. What we are going to encounter in Bungoma sounds like it won't be quite as nice as things are here. I'll see if I can track down a phone somewhere so I can give you a call Mom and Dad. I love you all. My sinus infection is better but I think my allergies are acting up which isn't helping things much. Thank you all for your prayers. God bless.
Greetings from Kenya...
We landed in Nairobi about 9am Sun, which would be 10pm Sat at home. We went to pick up our tickets to Tanzania and the guy said they are no good. Said we have to have a printed ticket or something. Jason was handling the mess while Nathan and I were getting to know some of the locals. Anyway we ended up having to pay for 3 more tickets which was a real bummer. Hopefully we'll be able to get a refund on the others. We're just killing some more time here in the Airport till out flight at 5pm. I've developed a horrible sinus infection during the trip so pray for that please. It's left my head spinnin a little. Forgot my usb in my bag so no pictures yet. Hopefully when we get to our next destination I can get a couple pics up.
