After over 24 hours of planes, airports, and airplane food, we have made it to Robyn's house in Nairobi! I think we would all say we are definitely feeling a little jet lagged and would be okay not seeing another plane for a little while. It is around midnight right now in Africa but really it's between 2-5PM at our home towns where we left from which makes our bodies confused and our minds are consistently converting time zones back and forth between the U.S. and Africa.
Robyn was at the airport ready to greet us, and she took us to her home which is so cozy! She has three rooms and each of us got a bed to sleep on. She told us that since she just returned to Kenya from furlow she has only been living in this apartment for six weeks and only three of those nights she has had her home to herself otherwise she is consistently letting guests stay. Her hospitable attitude is already so encouraging and calming.
Tomorrow :: we are going to have tea with some of Robyn's missionary friends, getting our temporary nursing council license, exchanging money, watching a little boy's rugby game, and then having a spaghetti dinner before we go to bed early because we leave for Tenwek Hospital early Thursday morning!
If you could please continue to pray for safety, that our bodies will adjust quickly, and that we would be open to how God wants to use us in our short time here. We will also need all the energy we can get so we can love on these people here!
Watch for more updates!
