Dear Friends,
We are on our way home, most of us passed out on the plane from Nairobi to Amsterdam. We have had a packed week and a very emotional and hard time leaving Kenya Behind. We have bonded as a family here with Humphrey's team and very hard saying good bye. We never felt in danger and felt loved beyond words. Humphrey's home and the people of Kenya are living exampes of what Jesus would like us to be. The loved poured out on us was very overwhelming. The children are absolutely beautiful. Not a toy in sight and joy ceaselessly pours out of these sweet children. Amazing week. The orphanage updates: Ceiling in big bedroom complete..2 bedrooms completely mudded, septic system dug, pluming and showers installed. Only 1 more ceiling needed to be done (We didn't have a generator the last day..so I had to saw by hand wouldn't my father be proud!) We loved going to church with Humphrey and was quite blown away with offering...sugar cane, chickens, bannans..felt like Old Testament!! Kenyas praise and worship very openly and was an overwhelming service.
On Wednesday we headed to Nairobi and we went and saw the baby elephants. Then we went to the giraffes and Kesley, Grace, Abby, Reba, Mcgee, and lotsof the others french kissed a giraffe. There tongues are very slimy and rough. After we did that we headed to eat lunch and after that we went to see the orphan animals of Kenya zoo we went on a private tour and we went behind the sences and got to pet a real live adult cheetahs in their habitat. Also we saw lions at feeding time, we got to feed a ostrich, monkeys, and hipppo. While we were in Nairobi Humphrey's childern Abigail and Alex stayed with us. Here are pictures!!
