I'm in Kenya! :)

Hey friends!!

After lots of traveling adventures, I am in Kenya!! A day later than planned… but it is SO good to be here! Due to weather in New York, my flight out of Denver was delayed, so I missed my connecting flight out of the States. Continental gave me vouchers, so I was able to stay in a hotel until my flight for London left on Friday night. I arrived in Nairobi Saturday evening (Nairobi time) with ALL of my luggage (praise the Lord!!!). It is so fantastic to be here!! Lots of peace… it just feels right! I went to church this morning with Pastor Sammy, Eve, and Christian (who is absolutely HUGE – he’s walking and talking now! The last time I saw him he was learning to sit!), and it was great! Everyone is so welcoming – I’m reminded of how gracious and beautiful the Kenyan people are!

Other praises:
- I got to see the Statue of Liberty (from the plane) and Manhattan (from my hotel)!
- On the Newark/London flight, I connected with two (separate) others who are both involved with organizations in Kenya – it’s always cool to meet others who “get it.” Anyways, we swapped info, but this would not have happened had I made it on my original flight! Yay for God working that one out :)
- The unplanned overnight in New York gave me some much needed heart prep/Jesus time, which was wonderful! It also allowed me to catch up on some sleep, which made the next day of traveling much easier!
- The weather here is super nice – I was expecting chilly and damp, but it’s actually warm and sunny – yay!

Tomorrow morning Pastor Sammy and I are heading to Miracle House, and I AM SO EXCITED!!! I cannot wait!! It will be so wonderful to see them and hug them and laugh with them… I’m stoked!

Thanks for your prayers for travel! They are much appreciated! Continue to pray for safety and divine encounters. Pray that my heart would be receptive to whatever God has for me in this time… I don’t want to miss out or hold back! I’m also really wanting to pick up more of Swahili, so pray I’m a fast learner!

Love you all! I’ll try to get on in the next couple of days and post some pics – I’m sure I’ll leave MH tomorrow with a bunch!
