Home At Last

The Kenya team has arrived safely back in PA and hopefully we are all now in the comfort of our own homes spending time with family and friends. We left Kitale on Sunday and drove to Nairobi. We had a lovely Italian dinner out in town (thanks to the Roches for treating us all) and then headed to the hotel for one more night of rest before the big travels begin. Monday morning we headed out on a 5 hour safari at the Nairobi National Park where we saw monkeys, giraffes, zebras, lots of birds a rhino, gazelles, and more.

We began flying around 5:30 Monday night after a quick delay due to technical difficulties. I am always so thankful for those at home praying. It always makes me a little nervous when they say a plane has technical difficulties and then we are in the air in that plane a couple hours later. :| We made it safely to Dubai, and then boarded a 13 hour flight to JFK. There were some medical emergencies on the plane that caused some commotions and a bit of confusion. When we landed in NY they had us wait on the plane while a medic team came and removed the young boy who had a seizure on the plane. I am always so grateful for God's protection over our travels.

We all made it through immigration and headed out into the stifling HOT weather. It took about 3.5 hours to get back to PA but we were all excited to get back into town. Hopefully we are changed forever. I know it will look different for each one of us, but I truly hope that each one of us had an encounter with Christ that has drawn us closer to His heart. It was a privilege to serve together. We will post photos soon once we get them loaded onto computers.

Bless you all. Thanks for praying and following our journey.
