Hello everybody! The team and I arrived safely in Kenya last Saturday after a horrific bus ride. Athi River, Kenya is definitely out in the bush-bush and so gorgeous. I don't know how to explain the sky here. Its not like anything I have ever seen in America. Its kind of like the land is so beautiful that the sky wants to reach down and touch it. So anywhere you stand you can turn in a complete circle and there are huge, white billowing clouds touching the horizon. Imagine what the sunrises are like...:)
So far for ministry we have just been working at the base slashing grass, which is the African version of mowing the lawn. We have also been pulling down dead branches from thorn trees, which is a very perilous job. Next week we will start ministry in a children's home, do a prayer walk in Nairobi (please pray for us, scary place right now), and participate in small groups with HIV/AIDS affected children.
One benefit at the base every day can be a safari because there are giraffes that regularly graze all around, and a national park with lions, cheetahs, zebras, you name it that borders the base. One downfall is the lack of Internet access, which means this has to be short. Bye!
Love you all!
