We have arrived. It is around 6 here in Tenwek, I think around 10 AM in Nashville. Our travel time is complete for now and my swollen ankles and tired eyes are happy for the break. We traveled from Nashville to Atlanta to Amsterdam, had a 8 hour layover that we spent walking around the city, then got on another 8 hr flight to Nairobi. We go into Nairobi at 6 AM and then got on a van and after making a few stops for snacks and to pick people up we rode for 4 hours to Tenwek....it is good to be here.
All our travel was smooth, all our bags made it !! and everyone is settling in and getting ready to eat. Tomorrow we will start unpacking and organizing.
There are some things that no matter that it is my 7th time in this country, I am always amazed to see. Kenyans have so much hope and so much pride, even though compared to our standards they have little. I love the colors here...from the red dirt to the green hills, to the smooth dark skin contrasted by white teeth, to the colorful fabric, the bright red the masaii wear...it is all so beautiful year after year.
I am happy to be here again, happy to see what God has in store for this year-for how we will grow the program, teach, be taught, help and be helped...
Here are a few shots from the road (if they will load!)
