Greetings

All is well.  Everyone is healthy and filled with joy.

 

The internet connections at Tumaini are not working.  I'm writing from a internet cafe in Nyeri.  This place is amazing.  The hospitality has been unbelievable and everyone is incredibly friendly.

 

We have many stories to tell but they will need to wait until we get better connectivity.

 

Peace and joy all.

 

Asland is on the move at Tumaini.

In Nairobi

We arrived last night with all our personal luggage intact.  All 26 tubs of supplies and the guitar are still in London. Hopefully they will come tonight.  Did not have much feel for what time was what.

We had a good night's rest at the Methodist Guest House and are soon heading out for some grocery shoppig and then the three hour ride to Nyeri.

Worried that the internet connectivity at Tumaini will be spotty but we'll find a way to post occassionally.

Love and Peace to all.

In London

We are in Heathrow getting ready for one more flight.  I was a very short night but I think everyone got at least a little sleep. 

@ the airport

4:40 we are at the gate all 26 tubs and the guitar checked without trouble. Thanks to all who showed up to send us off. Next stop London.

Tubs of love!

Sunday we packed, weighed and labeled 26 tubs to check with us on the flights to Nairobi. Books, clothes, linens, VBS supplies, sports equipment, gifts for the kids and our hosts, medical and dental supplies, communionware...
