First day in Kenya. Just arrived at 9:40pm The flights were good but long, I was a bit stressed out but Elizabeth was with me so she helped me alot! I can't explain how much I appreciate her, and how encouraging, positive, and funny she is! She always knows what to do to make me feel special. I am blessed to be going on this trip. We arrived to Amsterdam but didn't get to walk around much. The layover was less than 2 hours. So...after 16 hours of flying, we are finally in Kenya. What a beautiful country! It's very surreal being here. We took a shuttle with a big group of Compassion International travelers and arrived at the Sarova Panafric hotel in Nairobi. Everyone is so welcoming and nice. When people were telling me that I would feel more at home here than I do in the U.S. I don't think I really believed it, but it's true! Our hotel is incredible. My roommate is a Pastor from Minnesota named Skip. He has tattoos, and is a drummer, and is a great guy! Glad to be rooming with him! Tomorrow morning is orientation and breakfast and then we head to the first center! I can't believe we're here. More updates tomorrow!
