hello friends
we had the longest days of our lives. out spend so much time on planes it was getting alittle ridiculous. Two of our flights had delays but we were already on the plane so we were stuck sitting on them for hours. but we made it here last night 2 hours after we were suppose too. We had a little miss communication with our driver james and he wasnt there to pick us up. he thought we were coming the next day. So we were thrown into figuring out the kenyan life really fast. we borrowed a phone from a girl to call him and then had to figure out where to meet. (chris, good thing you made me write down james number, because if we didnt I would have been SCREWED!!!) but we just had to wait an hour then a sweet driver james showed. he is a great man and enjoys doing transportation. We stayed at the Free Pentecostal guest house which was SO fun! it was kinda like a dorm and we were the only ones there. the girls are loving it here and so am I. we are heading to the orphanage today to get settled and meet our new family for the next month.
I am filled with so much peace. After how hard planning this trip was and how many times i wanted to give up, we are here, we are happy!!! I am totally convinced this was exactly what we were suppose to do.
We bought a kenyan cell phone to make it easy to call parents. so if you are lucky you might here our beautiful voices!! but if not remember NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!! I dont know when I will be able to post next but I am sure I will have many stories.
Keep praying and we will keep on having the most amazing experience of our lives. deal??
