Ah, 'tis good to be back

Thank you for all the love I have sensed from family and friends. This trip to Africa was as good as they get, no hitches at all OTHER than Sarah and I needing to be paged in the Atlanta airport because we were late in checking in.(we only had 1 hour layover)  We were really having fun visiting with our new friend, on her way to visit her son, his wife and her 10 grandchildren who are digging wells in South Sudan and developing an organic garden in Karen (ourside Nairobi)
SIX A.M. today I was sleeping so well when my packed alarm clock told me it was time to get up.  So much for sleeping late. ha!  We did take our time leisurely sorting through all our luggage, taking a walk to the Ya Ya Centre, showing Sarah the first of Nairobi in the daylight.  There we met our Liberian students, Albert and Priscilla, studying here at Daystar University.  What precious fellowship we had.  The Lloyds are not without struggles, being in a strange land themselves, but their spirits are high and their faith being tested.  Our trip planner, Joseph, has been an exemplary EAFC alumnus and friend.  He has not only worked tirelessly for Sarah and me, but he and his wife have come to the rescue many times for Albert and Priscilla.

When I figure out how to post pictures, you will get a lot.  The first may be of Joseph and Carolyn's two girls. Genesis  is 6 and Princess  will be 3 in January.  We got to spend the afternoon with that precious family.  They so get it, why we want to buy African products for GREAT prices so that we can sell them reasonably and our friends (and their friends) have something they WANT, and something that BLESSES others here.  Sarah and I began that process today with their help, getting olive wood bowls that I would love to have myself.  We also got children's toys.

Tomorrow is the day we visit STUDENTS in their environment!  We have meetings all day long.  Once again PACU  (Pan Africa Christian University) have invited us to lunch.  What a privilege is ours to work with these fine people.

The internet is again a challenge, but the gracious receptionist is letting me use HIS computer.  Hope to visit with you  again SOON.  Spread the word that I'm blogging.
