Jambo! We have arrived in Kisumu!

After about 65 hours of travelling, we arrived safely into Kisumu earlier this morning.  We were greeted by Blake & Esther Gibbs, as well as by three of Agape's Kenyan management team, Johnstone, Lebaus, and Winfred.  It was wonderful to see everyone!

I'll update everyone on what's happened since we last wrote.  The sun finally came out on Thursday afternoon in London, and we took the train into the city to do a little sightseeing.  We got a little bit of a late start heading to London because we all took a nap that afternoon, and ended up arriving downtown around 8 PM.  It all worked out well, as we had just enough time to see the London Eye, Big Ben, Parliament, Trafalgar Square, and Buckingham Palace.  We, of course, capped off the day with dinner at McDonalds (in true American fashion).

Yesterday morning (Friday) we left London at 10 AM to fly to Nairobi.  The flight was uneventful (except for a really hard landing that caused the oxygen masks to fall down!).  We arrived in Nairobi around 9:30 PM, and then ended up waiting in line for a visa until around midnight.  We finally got checked into our hotel around 1 AM earlier this morning, got into bed around 2 AM, and got up at 6 AM for our flight to Kisumu.  But, we made it!

Thanks to all of you for your prayers for safe travels!  God Bless!
