Cheatin' Death Day 2

By: Drew

So we all survived the drive back to Nairobi.  That may seem like a mundane thing, but in Kenya they do not close down roads they are doing construction on.  They just drive around the people working on the road.  I think some pictures were taken of this, which will help those at home understand the fear and triumph of arriving safely.  We are recovering in the Methodist Guest House before testing God's providence again tomorrow with bush planes into the Mosai Mera.

Leaving Tuminani is a tough task.  Lucky we were able to walk the kids to school and that kept the emotions down slightly.  Its sad to see the Home disappear in the rear-view mirror.  We know as a team that the reason it hurts so much to leave is that our work mattered.  The connections made with them were real.   They are in our prayers, we know we are in theirs.  

Its good to be back together as a group.  The two teams have taken to each other, and honestly it makes for more targets for the lions, which increases the livelihood of survival for any single member.  From here on out its fellowship, game drives, and bush planes.  Wish you all at home could be here with us, but trust me when I say you will be sick of our 3000 pictures and 10 hours of video in no time.
