We're in Nairobi...what about you???


Well we're safely in Nairobi, Kenya and prepped to begin our 6 hour layover here. Fatigue is already knocking at the door for some of the team (we've already had 2 of our 5 flights today), so we're laying low for this layover. As always, Kellsi and Liz are chomping at the bit to get home and see their significant others (two weeks separated by an ocean is a long time), so that thought alone is helping them make it through. I'm just excited about sleeping in my bed tomorrow night.

God definitely was on our side this morning when the bus that was supposed to take us to the airport died outside our lodging. Thanks to a quick call to one of the Mikes of ACTS, Ruth got everything sorted. We had some security hang-ups, but everything worked out, and we made it to the plane.

DanI guess I'll sign off for now. Keep us in your prayers as we get ready for the longest flight we have (Nairobi to London). We'll try to shoot all of you an update in London. See you soon!!!

Hey Guys, now you will laugh at this...

I am commenting here after following links on Dan's facebook page and seeing that he's already done the blog for today - beat me to it... thats partly because I lost the piece of paper with the instructions on...! What?! I hear you say... I think it was the 4am wakey wakey call... ;)

I hope you guys get through the rest of your flights without any hassles and that the sardine can of economy class is like a comfortable lounge chair (Anything is possible with God!) Come back soon!

I'm so glad you all had a great time in Cape Town and at Red Hill. After having been there several times myself, I know what you mean, Dan, about drinking the water and having to go back for more.

There are wonderful people down there and it sounds like you have all poured your hearts into serving them. Thank you for being good representatives of Belmont and of your faith!

We're praying for you as you travel home.
