Day Tree

God is good! We arrived in Kijabe today, from Nairobi, with a few stops along the way. We took in the beautiful Great Rift Valley, learned some important lessons on bartering for goods (like “be sure to slash the offered price in half”), and saw baboons on the side of the road!

Our facilities are amazing, and the staff here is a huge blessing. We toured the hospital and got a feel for our surroundings here. We also spent some time with the Mendonsas. The entire team (all 11 of us) squeezed into Julie's car and went to watch Will's soccer game. It was a great “team bonding” experience, as we went up the trail together to his school.

We continue to bond well as a team. Beth has started a quote book of the funny things we have each said during moments of jet lag. Yes, I am sure some will be shared on this blog.

Tonight we discussed the blessing of God's “with-ness” as we strive to be a witness here. We remembered the Great Commandment—to go and make disciples—as being coupled with Jesus' promise that He will always be with us. Pray that we experience His presence in a powerful way as we minister to the people of Kenya!

Blessing,
