Back Home in Kenya

Because of bad weather in London, our flight was delayed in leaving Dallas. Of course that made us late for our flight to Nairobi. The Lord was good and after standing in the London airport for four hours we ran to the last flight leaving for Nairobi. Two of my sisters and my brother were flying with me and plan on staying with me for two months here in Kenya. We arrived in Kenya early Friday morning. I had left my house and things taken care of and in good order. I came home to a dead battery in the car, flat tire, no working cell phone number, and the water disconnected. With the Lord’s help most of those things were fixed by the next day. Being a weekend the water had to wait till Monday.


Sunday we went to Emmanuel Baptist for Sunday school and church. It was so good to be back and to see everyone! The church has grown in number while I have been gone.


Monday morning we got up and headed to the water company to take care of getting the water reconnected. We were finished with paying by 8:30 that morning and that afternoon they were going to come out and connect it. For how things work in Kenya that was a miracle. =) The American Embassy was the next stop on the list. I now have them working on renewing my passport.


I have been home for almost a week now. Things are going well. Four days and hundreds of phone calls later we finally have running water in the house again. =) Praise the Lord!!!! The Lord is always in control. Tomorrow we will be driving up to Nanyuki to look at some houses that are for rent.
