Back in Nairobi!

We made it safely to Nairobi on Wednesday night! Thanks for praying for us--we needed it! It was a very long journey with very little sleep but we felt God's presence helping us along the way. He provided helpful airline staff and all of our luggage arrived intact! Karina traveled pretty well but had a rough few days of jet lag and homesickness to start with. She seems to have adjusted now and has really enjoyed getting re-acquainted with some of the other missionary kids on our team. We're hoping we all get a good night of sleep tonight and we're very excited about the coming week. Tomorrow we'll travel out of the city with the rest of the SIM Sudan team to Brakenhurst, a beautiful retreat center where we have our Spiritual Life Conference every year. It is always a refreshing time with good messages, worship, lots of time for fellowship, and fun for the kids. We're looking forwarding to re-connecting with teammates, meeting new ones, and continuing to seek the LORD's direction for our ministry in Sudan. Please pray for this over the coming week!

Nairobi, here we come!

Well, this is it! Our last night on this side of the ocean. Tomorrow afternoon we drive 4 hours to Toronto, then fly through the night to London, England, and then on to Nairobi, Kenya. We're excited and feel pretty organized and ready. Please pray for our journey, that Karina will have a good time with it, sleep well on the flights (us too!), and that our luggage will arrive safely with us. To all our friends and family in Jamestown area, thank you for your love and support while we've been here!
