Here, There and Every where

Here, There and Everywhere

Well, I finally made it to Nairobi late last night. Sadly though, my luggage didn't have the same luck as I did. But soon we will be reunited! Traveling here was hectic and bizarre... and it's quite miraculous that I even made it! For one, my flight to Chicago was canceled because of the snow. I flew to Minneapolis, and there realized that the flight to London that I was booked on was full. But, at the last minute a seat was available and I made it. London is another long and miraculous story. With the systems being down, and me not having a plane ticket because of the canceled flight to Chicago, I almost missed my flight to Nairobi. I still have no idea how I actually made it!

But I did make it! I started working today. For the next several weeks I will be going from one program to another, just taking it all in and sort of figuring out where I might fit in. Today I did social work and went with Mary on multiple home visits. It was really good to get to know some people and to see the culture. I haven't even been here for 24 hours yet, and I already love it. I had chai tea 3 times today!! It's probably one of my most favorite things!

Anyway... I'll give more of an update later on. I just wanted to let everyone know that I did make it here. I'm alive and well :)
