Half Way Across The World...Finally

JAMBO!!

What an incredible week I have had in Kenya!! I am already in love with the culture, incredible people, adorable children, and indescribable nature. This past week has been very crazy for our team, but simply amazing!

I have so much that I want to share I am a bit behind. Internet is down at the CYEC, so we have to go into town to access it so I will not be a be to post as much as a wanted (but that probably is a good thing for you! :)

So....

(I know you just can not wait)

We left Thursday the 24th from Kansas City airport around1:00 p.m. Meeting back up with the team was great!! We had been apart for two weeks, which was awkward for us since we are used to spending so much time together! After a tearful goodbye with all of our families we were ready to start our journey!

Our first flight, which landed in Dallas, was quick and our team made a friend who was doing the exact same flights we were to Nairobi! Her name was Diana and she the cutest baby Zoey! She lives in Kansas City but was going back to Kenya to visit her family. It was a great blessing to have someone who knew what they where doing and willing to help/hang out with us! We easily found our plane and soon started boarding to head to London. The first eight hour flight was fine. And by fine I mean I slept for all of it.

In London I was able to talk to some men with the BEST accent ever. I am not upset that I will be stopping there again on the way home. The second eight-hour flight was a lot of fun. And by a lot of fun I mean I slept even more. However, on this flight I also met some incredible people who were from London but living in Kenya. They gave me some great tips on were to travel to, what to do, ect.

When we finally arrived to Nairobi I was so ready/excited/nervous/tired/hungry/craving pepsi. The airport was different from any other airport I had been to (which is only like seven so it isn’t hard to be different). However, we figured it out and after some veryyyy long waiting I was able to get my bags. We then pilled into a matatu (a way of transportation in Kenya) and headed to the hotel.

And finally our flying adventure was over the next day at 11:00 p.m.
