GREETINGS FROM AFRICA

We left Canada on time- but today is my first day on a computer since we left.

Flights were good - The Zanzibar team spent one night in Nairobi and then flew on\

On Saturday we went in to Nairobi and looked around - had a good day at Doonbholm Church. Our two teens went to a crusade in the evening and said it was amazing.

Monday we visited the Doonholm school and made our first presentationh which went well. Then we met with about 25 19 years olds who are taking a course at the Church. We talked a bit and answered questions for about an hour.

TOday we flew to Kisumu and Ian picked us up - took us to the orphganage and we arrived about 12. \they now have 21 children. We played with them for a while. After nap we gave them the teddy bears Meaghan had made for them. I will try and up load photos tomorrow. Right now we are without electricity so I am on battery power and transmitting over the cell phone in the dark.

Everyone is well and slowly geting over jet lag. Josh is on his first trip to Africa and says he really loves it. Tomorrow we visit our first Bujura school and have more time with the kids.\
Will try and update more this week.

Blessings
