Jumbo! Ubana Esefiway (spelling check tomorrow!!) This means Helllo and Praise the Lord in Zahilli
We have arrived safe and very sound in Nairobi. We were greeted by Humphrey's group and was very blessed...a couple of tears ! We are staying tonight in Nairbobi and leaving first thing in the morn for Chuka. The lodge is very quaint..reminds me of Bed and Breakfast of Europe.
I am feeling very blessed as one would feel standing next to a great Muirwood or Redwoods of California. Humphrey's team are Spritual Giants and God is moving and working miracles. Humphrey preached almost the same message I have been planning to teach for my woman's bible study. God is Great and HIS grace is sufficient for today!! We have VBS plans mapped out and the advance team have worked tirelessly in laying a very organized foundation for our mission. God bless you at home you all were prayed for tonight in Africa.
God Bless you all...good night for now
In Him,
Leslie Norden
