After almost two days worth of travelling, we arrived this morning in Nairobi, Kenya - forty minutes ahead of schedule too! We were soon greeted by Rose and Gus who took us to breakfast at a place that is right beside our apartment. Then were able to take hot showers and a little nap (I personally had trouble sleeping on the plane and had had about 35 minutes worth since early Wednesday morning... so the sleep was wonderful).
Lunch was a yummy affair with some interesting food that was good - but I have no idea what it was. We then met with someone from SIM (another Christian group here in Kenya) where we heard about their strategy when working with aids patients.
We were then taken to a piece of property that LIA has acquired and were able to be there for the dedication service. It was amazing to see people whose praying shows that they believe that their prayers are going right to the king of heaven. We met with many of the people involved with LIA and who were friends of LIA.
After the dedication service came the trek back to the apartment and dinner.
Even though all this has happened in Kenya, I almost feel as if this is a dream - the reality of where I am and what I am doing hasn't quite hit me yet. I am so excited to see what God has planned for me and how He will change me....
Well, goodnight everyone! (Or good afternoon depending on your location...)
