We arrived at Moi's Bridge...

Today began with a good breakfast. Crepes and omelets made to order, otherwise known as roughing it in Africa. It was a nice hotel called the Grace Hotel in Nairobi. I slept great. Seven hours.

We then waited for Michael Mosley and his family. We got to the airport at about 3 pm, and we caught another plan to Eldoret. The plane ride was only 35 minutes long, and we landed at 6600 feet above sea level. It was long runway. The plane actually did a 180 on the runway and headed toward the terminal. Like old movies, the stairs were rolled up to the plane and waiting family could be seen waving to their loved ones. We also were able to carry a water bottle on the plane. Very risky maneuver. 

Great flight and we landed to load up a safari Toyota. One of those with 10 seats used to take people out on safaris. We packed in 14 people in the ten seater and headed down the road for what would be the longest two hours ever. It was quite the experience.

We go to the orphanage at about 830 PM and dinner was waiting for us. Chepada bread, white rice and stew, made  by the wonderful women of the orphanage. Good meal. Great people. Coffee followed with great conversation and testimony. There is a tremendous amount of pouring into each other happening. We are building each other up for tomorrow, the next hour, the next minute. God has brought Christians together in Great Rift Valley of Africa to disciple. Each person here has a duty assigned by the King. We all know it and feel it.

Internet is working so blogging will be a breeze. Keep up your prayers. I have a feeling that I will not want this to end. Amen!
