After 26 hours of travel, we gratefully “crashed” in our guesthouse in Kenya. It is amazing what a good sleep can accomplish! We are ready to work!

Our home for the next few days is the Mennonite Guest House in Nairobi, Kenya. We discovered this little oasis when we were in Kenya last year. It has a large, grassy garden with some beautiful huge, old trees and smaller blooming shrubs. The birds make beautiful music but don’t seem to know that they are supposed to sleep when it gets dark. Although we each took along a light jacket, we did not realize that warmer clothing would have come in handy! There actually is winter in Africa! We should have listened! It is quite cool here and we find ourselves working on the balcony where it is a bit warmer than in our room. We are already missing hot showers!

We do appreciate the chance to experience some recovery time from jet lag as well as the opportunity to have several meetings with the Kenya staff for further input and insights on the Zambia project.

On Monday, we fly to Lilongwe, Malawi to connect with and learn more about the project from Peter Timmerman. Peter is the Team Leader for the Southern Africa Ministry Team. From there, we will be driven to Chipata, Zambia, our new home for six weeks. There we will meet the implementing partner of the project who we will be working with during our time there.

We look forward to sharing our initial insights and experiences with you once we have had a chance to establish ourselves in Chipata!
