What an Adventure We have had!

We were able to see a wide variety of the tapestry that is Kenya. The best and the worst.
Full of color, music, dance, smells, tastes and lots of Chai tea!
On our last day of serving, we went to an amazing orphanage called "Mission In Action"
what a wonderful place to be; the kids are so happy and so loving. We received lots of hugs everywhere we went from these sweet and adorable children.
Actually everywhere we went in Kenya the kids were pretty amazing from those we met that
had been rescued from tragic situations to the ones we met still literally in the mess at a place that no one would think to call home the city dump of Nakuru which is ironically called the Hilton. Weird huh? Eugene and I met two women both grandmothers who have little to nothing in very limited and rough conditions, but so grateful to God to have somewhere to be. They were both healthy, beautiful and so hospitable to welcome us into their homes. We were there to bless them with a bucket of love...we took maize flour, sugar, cooking oil, soap, chai tea, and a few more stable items to get them by. We heard about their stories and then prayed for them.
They both made these colorful hand baskets that look like they have been crocheted, but they
were made from recycled colored plastic grocery bags. I bought a green/clear one... this is a way that they make an income.
On our last night we we visited with Kate, Johnny and all there kids and had spaghetti, meat
balls and fresh made individual french bread rolls and then watched a movie. They have a
great family and it's was so fun spending time with them.

We are now in Dubai waiting for our flight to be announced. Looking forward to being home
and sharing stories about our trip!

take care,

Leilani
