October 2011 Team Picture

Update from Kenya Team

Things are going well here in Kenya. We are enjoying our time with the kids. As always, they are such a joy to be around. We have 9.75 beds built and boards for shelves are cut and painted. We are hoping to have the shelves put together tomorrow...or I guess I should say Floyd is hoping to have the shelves put together tomorrow.
We went to Salgaa today. We visited several homes. Such a meaningful time! We listened to their stories, laughed, cried, and prayed. Awesome! Then we went to the group meeting. The meeting started with singing by the Kenyan women....very cool to listen to! Then I shared and then Judy gave her testimony. Several of the Kenyan women shared afterwards how Judy's testimony ministered to them. A few of the women have started making jewelry, baskets, decorated gourds, beaded doilies, etc so we had a chance to purchase their things. On our way home, we stopped at the Baby Centre well and farm to take a look around. A great day for us!

We have arrived!

We made it! Our flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi was delayed by 2 hours, but other than that everything went well. All of our luggage arrived, too. They dedicated 36 babies at Ngata AGC this morning so we were able to be a part of that. Was awesome! Everyone is doing well...a little tired...but very excited to be here. We'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

The October Team left this morning for Kenya. They were excited to start the journey and looked forward to getting there so they could begin to love on those babies!
