We made it!!

 

Jambo sana (big hello!) to everyone.  Pray you are all well.  Well, we made it, even after leaving on Weds afternoon and arriving on Friday morning in Kenya.  We really saw how the Lord provided for us with the flights.  We made all of our connections, no lost luggage, and I was able to get on the early flight to Kisumu with the team.  Wahoo!  We have hit the ground running too.  I am really enjoying being with the team.  It is really a great group of people with all different gifts but huge hearts for God and for bringing Christ . 

It's wild.  Even the first day, I've felt like I've returned to my second home.  Since the decision to come was so fast, most of the church members and people I worked with on the project last year didnt know I was coming.  It was so fun to surprise them!!  I got some great hugs.  Of course, the kids were coming in droves to hold hands, laugh and play.  What a blessing.  

We dedicated the well today on the church property.  I was able to pray for it.  It was beautiful to see how the Lord is providing for this community.  Even so, this water leave you thirsty the next day, but God gives us everlasting water freely and graciously. 

Continue to pray for us.  We are all leading seminars tomorrow on a variety of topics to train some of the church leaders from around the city.  We are also holding vacation bible school for the kiddos, too fun. 

Well, friends, I am off to get some sleep.  May your dreams be filled with the assurance that God is working in your life and in our world.

Hey Lauren,
Good to hear you arrived safely. You were mentioned today in the worship service when they announced the summer short term missionaries. So you know that many will pray for you. Sounds like an exciting and rich time. The Jonah group may get together this week. We'll pray for you and your work, and of course you will be missed. Peace!

Lauren,

Wow, cant get enough huh! I called your cell phone when I read your email and you were already gone! I talked to Grace and she was like yep, I took her to the airport. Glad that you got there safely, man I remember that long ride. Hopefully you got caught up on a whole host of movies that you werent able to see during the school year. Tell Pastor Tobias that I sent my warmest hello and well wishes. What a blessing that there is a well by the church! Awesome. Take pics...and be sure to let me see them :)
