The Journey

It's hard to believe this was only a few days ago. Here we are with all of our stuff at the Toronto Airport preparing to go check in at BA. And yes, all those bags made it together and on time. Thank-you Lord for answering that prayer.


We made it to London in one piece and had to change over from Gate B to C. This required a very short train ride. By short it had to have only been 2 minutes! So happy we didn't have to walk it though! Here is Elijah sitting at the gate waiting for our next plane to Nairobi.

It was weird to be in another country like England only for 3 hours. When we fly in everything looked so amazing it would have been so fun to see. But, I did have a vanilla latte at the starbucks in the airport. That was good. Funny how you can be across the ocean and a drink still tastes the same.

Today, we are just trying to relax. I have come down with a bit of a cold. So trying to rest it off. Our orientation starts Tuesday afternoon. We went to Nairobi Baptist Church this morning. We showed up late. We figured we were in Kenya we would not worry about time. Well, we were probably one of the last people to arrive. We though church started at 8:30 so 9 would be ok. Well actually church had started at 8 so we basically just heard the sermon. Oh well. It is a very big church. I think the building is at least 6 stories high. The church seems to have a thriving ministry here in Nairobi. We were invited in for tea after on the bottom floor and enjoyed a few minutes with some of the people there.
