Little Rock to Limuru

We made it to Kenya! We flew into Nairobi on Wednesday to a rainy and cold winter evening. Despite the international arrivals terminal having burnt down just a few days before arriving, everything went smoothly and better than we expected. It took twice as long as normal (about 3 hours) to drive from the airport to Limuru because of the weather and Nairobi traffic.

We have been staying in a room at Brackenhurst (where Woodland Star School is located) while our cottage is being cleaned and fixed up a bit. We plan to move in over the weekend or on Monday. So far we have had some short meetings, but have mostly been recovering from jet lag. Bobby has managed to spend some time out on his mountain bike in preparation for his race to raise money for the LCC Baby Home. It is both exciting and bizarre to be in Kenya and know this is our new home for at least two years. However, we have been welcomed with open arms and everyone has been generous in helping us get settled. We are very thankful and know this is where God wants us.

Did we mention it is absolutely beautiful here in Limuru? We are approximately 70 miles from the equator and at about 7,500 feet elevation. It is currently winter in Kenya and August is supposed to be the coldest month of the year. This means cool nights, warm days, and lots of green! Pictures to come. For now here are a few pictures from time spent with our families as we made the move from Little Rock to Limuru...
