Our flight to Africa was a thousand times better and more comfortable. We arrived in Nairobi at 6:30 and by 11 AM we were meeting with the MCO Board. What a godly group of men and women who are wanting to do whatever God wants.
This afternoon we visited the Mitumba Slum and met Pastor Shadrack and some of his Board members. It was exciting to see one of Greg's Essential Structures in use as a class room. They have also set up a home for parentless children which is clean, well organized, and so impressive in so many ways. They sang for us and shared Bible memory verses. The little children ran up to us wanting to be picked up or to hold our hands. It was so precious. I am already learning about what deep faith looks like, and it's humbling. We're all pretty fried from little sleep and a busy schedule so pray for our health and energy.

The accommodations at St. Mary's Hospital are wonderful and the staff are so friendly. The traffic is outrageous and I'm so glad we don't have to drive!
