Hello from Kenya, or as they say, "Jambo."

Yes, we finally arrived safely early Sunday morning and have settled in to working with our new friends. It's hard to believe we only have 2 days left here in Maua before we move on to Meru. If you haven't had a chance, you can still check out our blog. You can reach it by going to <> and clicking on the link on the bottom right corner. That has more details about the people we're meeting and how we're experiencing Kenya.

You would not believe it, but it's cold here. We're right on the equator, but we have to wear our coats a lot of the time, and they aren't warm enough. The mountains are beautiful, and so are the people, though they don't have much money to buy beautiful clothes.

I'm sending this message from an Internet cafe. They close soon, so I'll make this short. I just wanted to let you know that we have arrived safely and are having a wonderful time, but we are also working hard. Every night we go to bed exhausted. I'm taking photos and notes, so I can tell and show you more when I get home.

I apologize to those of you who have aol. My first message didn't go through to you.

Thanks again for your continued support and prayers. Please know that the Kenyan people are very grateful for all you have done and continue to do. They wanted me to pass that message on to you.

God Bless!



Peace,
Nadia

Subject: Thanks for sponsoring my trip to "Africa"

Hi friends,

Thanks for helping to make our trip to Kenya possible. We are really excited about what we will be doing. I say will be, because we're not in Nairobi yet.

Our plane from London was almost to the Africa coast when we were forced to turn back to London due to technical and weather problems. We are overnighting here, and won't be able to leave for Kenya until tomorrow evening. We are disappointed, of course, but we're hoping we'll see the bigger picture. This was a the safest possibility for us all.

To find out our about our trip, Please check out our blogspot at . We will be updating every day. I believe my day to blog is Friday, Aug. 12.

We're very tired from a whole day of flying, and not getting anywhere, but at least we get to sleep in a bed tonight, instead of on the plane. We appreciate your prayers.


Peace,
Nadia
