and tomorrow....Kiatine

We have enjoyed our two full days in Nairobi and are finishing preparing for a 2 hour trip to Kiatine tomorrow. It is supposed to start at 1130 if we have the van from the compound, but we may have to take public transportation which would be by matatu. 

Yesterday we stayed at the house most of the day except when we went to a coffee shop called Java House that has free internet. It was nice to spend a day relaxing after traveling back from Homabay. Today Ashley, Victoria and I spent the day watching movies and relaxing, with a walk to a nearby market to get some sodas. Devon, Jeb and Japheth went to buy soccer balls and volleyballs because we leave one at every zone that we visit. They also had to go to Delta Airlines because about two days after we arrived in Nairobi, Delta cancelled all direct flights to America because of security reasons... and we had a direct flight from Nairobi to Atlanta on the way back. We got it all figured out and we are basically just re-tracking our steps that we took to get here with a stop in Amsterdam. We just had a team meeting about our trip to Kiatine tomorrow and we found out that it will be a little different than the trip that we took to Siaya and Homabay. 

We are going to the same church everyday instead of a new church everyday, like in Siaya and Homabay. Devon and I are excited because we can do a Vacation Bible School like thing with the children instead of just one lesson and actually get to know the children and form relationships with them... for more than just a couple of hours :)  We are planning on staying at a guesthouse near the church we are going to be working at so we wont have to travel very far each day either, which will be nice! We also found out tonight that there has been a break out of Cholera in Kenya.. we were told we would be fine we just need to be careful with water and make sure we use our hand sanitizer.. sooooo no worries :) That is all the information that I have right now about this trip, but I am very excited for it and know that I will bring back some good stories about it! 

Please continue to pray for the people of Kiatine that we are going to be working with, the safety of our team as we are traveling there, and our health while we are away. We are supposed to be getting back on Sunday night sometime so hopefully I can update soon after before our two week trip to Tanzania!! I hope you all are doing well and continue to do well.
