jambo!!! we finallyyy made it here wednesday morning at around 6:30am (around 10:30pm tuesday night mississippi time). after an hour or so of looking for Bailey's blue duffel (which never showed up...), we hit the ground running. We went to the Nakumatt (Kenya Kmart) and bought groceries, then went to the house we're renting..it's amazing! there's no heat, though, and our water heater has to be turned on an hour in advance for us to have hot showers. Even then, we have to be quick so the rest of the girls can have hot water. After we got settled into our new home, we went to the Limuru Children's Centre (the website link is in my first post) and visited with the boarders. The six new children are absolutely amazing! I absolutely fell in love with Jen, the youngest and one of the newest boarders. We played "tag" for a little while, before I moved on to playing soccer with the boys. My cheeks were hurting by the end of the hour from smiling and laughing- I'm so glad to be back!
We are about to head to the Centre now to eat lunch with the children and help the mums prepare supper for them. Then we'll go to Cheshire, which is the handicapped children's home to do a music night with some missionaries from London we met last night at the Global Connection's farm (again, link in first post). We're looking forward to another busy day!
love from kenya!
