In Africa

I can't believe I'm in Africa. It has been a long, but good journey here. As Mitch said earlier we arrived in Kijabe this morning. Our guest quarters are very nice and comfortable. I'm already planning how to bring our kids next time we come.

Kenya is absolutley beautiful. The people are beautiful and so kind. As we were at the shops today, all the locals were so helpful and friendly. I was out of my element, but they all made me feel at home. I'm looking forward to meeting more of these amazing people.

We had dinner tonight with a Missionary family from Canada. Two medical students from England that also arrived here today joined us. It was so fun to watch our three cultures meld into one common place and really enjoy each other. We shared many stories of our home lands and it was a special time.

I will be making my contacts tomorrow and will start to figure out where God wants to use me over the next few weeks. There is an Academy here for the missionary children throughout Africa that attend school here and they start this week. There is a huge need to be a support there, so I hope to offer a few hours a day supporting the staff there. I will also be checking out the children's hospital and hope to serve there as well. I'm looking forward to getting busy and helping where I can.

We love getting your comments, so please keep in touch with us. We do feel far away, but are enjoying the warmth of everyone here.

God Bless,
Amy
