I made it!

After a very bumpy and not very comfortable 12+ hour flight, I made it to Nairobi! There were even some musicians there to greet me (and everyone else, I suppose).

Some thank yous:
To everyone who gave towards my trip. Thanks to you, I not only met but even exceeded my goal!

To my parents who graciously agreed to watch Marcie an extra week when I extended my trip, and who drove me (and will pick me up, at 6am no less) to JFK, which if you know NYC airports you understand is the worst to drive to!

To the ticket agent who heard the terms "mission trip" and "educational supplies" and waived the overweight fee for the bag full of supplies.

To the ladies in the rows behind me who began a prayer circle (in English, Spanish, and Swahili) during the worst of the turbulence. And the pilot who got us around it and here safely!

To Chris, Aisha, Salma, and their driver Kevin who picked me up at the airport and pointed out all of the animals we saw on the side of the road (like entire herds of cows and goats just doing what they do, walking along the highway).


It is much warmer here than at home! Luckily today is bright and sunny and warm, to balance the significant rain they have gotten lately. Today we are just relaxing, unpacking, resting, and getting ready for the safari retreat in a few days.

God is Good!

Never go on an international trip right before Christmas

Image
So I've been back for a few weeks now. I got back Friday morning, Christmas was Monday, and I got hit with a major virus on Tuesday (that I finally feel mostly recovered from). So doing a final blog kind of fell off the radar. The flight home was much more enjoyable than the flight there. No major turbulence, and I had a whole row to myself so actually got to lay down and sleep (in coach!). Takeaways from my trip: 1) American food just.... isn't as good. Especially fruit. I have never considered breaking international law but very much thought about trying to sneak mango and pineapple into my suitcase. I also didn't have an issue with acid reflux or headaches like I do here. Like at all. American tomatoes? Avoid like the plague. Kenyan ones? Enjoyed in soup most days and never had any problems. It was fun trying to explain how mangoes are literally not grown in my COUNTRY, let alone where I live, which is why I usually buy them frozen if at all. They know what grocery store...

Yellow Rhino Christmas Celebration!

Image
Ok so just pretend it's still Wednesday, ok? 10 hours of ministry takes a lot out of you and we all needed to crash when we got back. Instead of one big Christmas party where everyone comes to one central spot and we needed to organize transportation and food and decorations, we brought the celebration to the neighborhoods! That meant we could spend time actually talking to the families and seeing the impact we make first hand. Bringing presents of Yellow Rhino T-shirts, food bundles, sweets (candy) and of course KFC we made 6-7 stops around Nairobi. A few to single families, and others to large groups gathered in homes or the local church. We even brought extra sweets to give to the local children who aren't sponsored by YRM. They didn't want us to leave and we had to cut them off for disrespectful behavior (towards us and each other!). In the largest neighborhood gathering we also performed the annual Christmas pa...

Save the good news for the last day!

Image
Sadly, my time on Nairobi has come to an end. In fact, I'm at the airport right now 😭. Somehow my 15 hour flight will take only 6 hours (yay time zones!). But onto the good news! I posted on Facebook the other day that one of our high school students shared that his sister was unable to attend a school last year (they go the calendar year, so start in January) because they couldn't afford the school fees. Well, with your help we got to share the news with her and her mom today that we are covering her fees and welcoming her into the Yellow Rhino family. This was the response when we told her brother at the end of the retreat: Each family we visited insisted they serve us tea or juice and a cake or something similar. No matter how little they have, they always wish to serve us as a way of thanking us for serving them! This family made my last day filled with joy. As I constantly remind the student who went on the trip, they are NEVER a burden and always ...
