It has been an absolute blessing be able to spend some time in Kenya. Nairobi has grown in leaps and bounds since my (Jess) last visit some 23 years ago, when I was a whopping 12 years old... It's much more developed, with movie theaters, shopping malls and western-style stores. We have done a little shopping, watched a couple movies (yay!!!) and enjoyed wearing western clothes out in public!
The conference started a few days ago and what an encouraging time it has been! Over 40 some people from all over the world are meeting to discuss the same people- and see what's on the heart of God for them! Meeting new people and re-acquainting ourselves with others has given us fresh vision... and excitement for the future!
The meeting will finish tomorrow and we'll have a few more days in the city before heading back home. While we have had an incredible time, we are eager to get back to working at the school, our soccer teams and being at "home"... I think we're finally adapting!
Politically speaking, things are heating up and we're trying to be wise and lay low. Being out of the country is helpful, but makes getting back in a little bit more tricky... We will pray, trust and keep you posted.
Photos: Eddy in a market in Nairobi... Some locals playing soccer in the land of sand- nice pitch eh?? (And how about the local with the donkey selling laban, or milk, in the background?) A cool flower in Kenya... Jess and Eddy geocaching outside of Nairobi- near Karen's house, from the movie Out Of Africa...
