We arrived in Nairobi yesterday evening. Wow, how different of a place! Until you’ve been here, you haven’t seen crazy drivers! Oh my gosh.
We have really been eased into this culture, which has been great. While at RVA, we could definitely tell that we were in Africa, however everything was safe - we didn’t have to worry about the water, food, etc. Now that we’re in Nairobi, we still have clean water to drink, however we have to get it from bottles - the tap water isn’t safe for us to drink. We just went to a market and the first thing we did when we got back was put all the fruit and vegetables into bleach water and wash our hands. It was so hard to not drink any water in the shower!
While here at SIL (Wycliffe), with Dennis and Marcia Felkner, we have high(er) speed internet - not high speed by North American standards, but faster than dial-up, so I’ll try and get a bunch of photos up on the photos page this weekend. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers - the trip has already been so amazing and we’ve already experienced so much. We can’t wait to share more with you. Please keep praying that the remainder of our support will come in.

Interesting to hear the differences, though not all that far away from where the Milligans were. I know what you mean about the water in the showers…be careful, as I speak from experience. I’m sure that’s what made me sick on one of my trips to Ukraine…just a teeny weeney accidental swallow….ugh…
Have a great day, okay?! Give the Felkners a big HELLO from the Midwest!
Love you two… Mom
