Hey friends!
It's been a sweet day here in Kijabe and Nairobi! We started the day off sitting on one of the beds in our room reading the first two books of Genesis with Isaac. We found a great illustrated book in rhyme back in the states that Isaac is able to understand- It was amazing to sit and talk through just how special he is to God as part of God's creation and how "there is nothing he can do to make God love him any more or any less than he does right now" (thanks pastor doug b. for drenching that concept in my life...it stuck! [robin]). Later in the afternoon, it just brought smiles to our faces to see Isaac pick up his rhyming Bible and begin to look through it on his own. God is GOOD!
Overall it's been a low key day-- but it's been full of blessing. The hotel we're at is missionary run and we were able to catch a ride with Dan to Nairobi this morning. Dan is a missionary from the states helping run the hotel "as a hobby" while really putting his weight down on working with the Christian radio station. He gave us a tour of the Nairobi station before helping us get much needed groceries (they have chocolate and Dr. Pepper...we're ALL set!)- Also, we have an invitation to dinner with the "King and Queen" of Christian radio...eat with royalty?! We'll see!
There are statues of elephants all over Nairobi...and Isaac loves them! We're hoping to get a photo of him with them at some point. Other wildlife news, apparently we do have zebras, giraffes, water buffalo, the occasional cheetah, and others roaming around! We sure hope to see some! Safely of course!
So it's been a day of meeting people, finding other contacts, and seeing how life works here in Kenya. Very different from Sudan!
Tomorrow we'll get back to trying to meet with the doctors, but it was a huge blessing to catch a ride with Dan so that we're able to eat!
We're still super excited by all that God's doing and encouraged by his hand in even the smallest details!
We still can't use the laptop, it won't connect to the Internet, so no photos or videos...but at least we can update the blog! yay!
Blessings!
Robin, Megan, AND Isaac

Hi Girls and Issac! How great is our God? Who is like God? May He grow bigger in your eyes as a result of this sweet and wonderful mission He has called you to. May He alert you to divine interruptions. And yes, He has awakened me several times in the middle of the night to pray for y'all. It's the strangest thing, waking up hearing my own voice in my head praying for y'all before I am even very awake! May the joy of the Lord be your strength!
...helping together in prayer for you, II Corinthians 1:11
Love and prayer,
Karen
Niece -
Glad to hear that all is well.
Same here - Cal beat Tenessee, and we will go to the game against CSU on Saturday.
Is there a way to send you some pictures from the cabin? We had a great time with your folks.
Love you, Niece.
