Hello from Nairobi!! We made it here last night, about 9:00 pm Kenya time (which is 9 hours ahead of all you in Alberta!). Our flights all worked out so well, no delays, no problems, luggage all arrived with us, and we also had no problems with our visas or getting through Kenya Customs. Praise the Lord for that!! The Inbound team met us at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport, and then James Holt (Trevor's new boss) took us to the Mayfield Guest House here in Nairobi. We got here and basically just crashed...wow we were so tired and still are!! The rooms here are really nice, the showers are warm, the food is excellent, and the people are really warm and welcoming! They gave us a welcome basket when we got here too, which was really special! We are so excited to be here...it was really difficult leaving family and friends behind, but now that we're here we feel really excited again, and have total peace that this is where we need to be. Oh, and also, we were really disappointed that we weren't able to say goodbye to Josiah and Anj after they got back from honeymooning in Cuba, but then just before we flew out of Toronto there was a page for us, and Josiah was on the phone. They were at the British Airways desk at the airport, but we had already gone through security, and we waiting to board, so there was no way we were able to quickly run and meet them, but it was still so good to at least be in the same building and say goodbye over the phone!! God totally gave us that gift before we left!!!
So now we're just waiting to start our orientation, which will be really laid back today as we are all really tired! Thanks for your prayers, and we'll continue to keep you updated!
~Trevor & Andrea
