We're here

WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!

after 2 loooooong flights our entire team has officially made it to Africa!and.. on top of that, we had no major complications. all of our luggage arrived on time and everything. as soon as we landed... it finally hit me. I AM IN AFRICA... ahhh... we got off the plane and right away things were so busy. we arrived at night... but there were still so many people. after we went through customs and got our luggage we walked out of the doors to find tons of africans holding up signs, looking for their loved ones. we soon met up with two men that we were looking for and then we hopped on a crazy bus ride to the mayfield guesthouse that AIM has here in Niarobi Kenya. all of our luggage was placed on top of the bus... without anything to hold it down! i was alittle nervous about that one... just like you said, steph :) and now i'm just at the guesthouse which has free internet! yay... we're going to be staying here in Niarobi for another 3-5 days and then we head off to tanzania! our whole team is learning lots of swahili! it's a beautiful language.

i hope things are going great at home. i miss you guys! but i can't wait to see what God has in store for the next 5 weeks!!!!

thank you for all your prayers!
love,
jen

Hey Jen! SO glad everything's going great. Dustin and I are praying for you and I just can't wait till you get to Tanzania and start your ministry! Can you let me know which email account you will be checking, then I can email you the right one so you don't have to check 3 of them. (Maybe you could post that on your blog?) Thanks girl! LOVE you and look forward to hearing from you! MUAH ~ Steph
