Hello from Kenya!

We are here and doing well!  I have only been in Kenya for a day and have already fallen in love with the people and our surroundings.  It is so beautiful here and all of the people are so welcoming and friendly.  We have been at the guest hostel for the rehabilitation hospital for the past two nights and then we left for Tumaini.  I really enjoyed the ride because we got to experience Kenyan driving.  Much, much different than American driving!  I also enjoyed talking with our driver Vinson.  I learned a lot about him in the couple hours we had to talk to each other.  We ended up having a very deep and meaningful conversation about his past and how God worked through his life to save him.  He was just a very friendly and interesting guy. Once we arrived at Tumaini, we immediately jumped in and began playing with them, talking to them, and just getting to know each other.  I already have girls whom I feel like I know really well already.  Most of the children are very open and like to talk to you about everything.  I have had a wonderful experience so far with the children and I know that I was placed in this trip in order to love these kids and give them attention that they seek.  I hope to blog again soon and I wanted to let you all know that everything is going great!
