Last Leg

So when we got to Amsterdam Mrs. Stephens led us to her favorite spot in the airport, the meditation center. It’s this slightly dark, cool, room where people can stretch out and nap or meditate in a quiet place. Of course my mother went in there and passed out. I went off to the business center to use the internet. Nothing was really crowded with it being 5:00am.



When Diane finally came to we went to a little café for breakfast. We both had scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice, and tea. It was actually really good! We headed to our gate and boarded the final leg of our flight to Nairobi. Almost as soon as I got on the plane I went to sleep. Finally! Mom dozed in and out of 27 Dresses. Seven hours later, we’d finally made it to Kenya!

We all went and received our visas, retrieved our bags, and waited for our drivers. We also had to grab some Kenyan Shillings from the ATMs. The exchange rate at the airport is the best.

Our drivers came and quickly loaded us up and took us to the guest house we’d be staying in. As opposed to a hotel, the lot of us are staying in the Nfugami guest house, two doors down from one of the New Life Homes!

Mom and I are sharing a room with bunk beds. There are three bathrooms for the lot of us. There is definitely going to have to be a morning shower schedule and an evening shower schedule.

After everyone got their luggage into their rooms we congregated in the house meeting area to discuss our plans for the next day over some snacks. We all dug into something called “Samosas” or something like that. They look like empanadas.



Most of us agreed to go to the 8:30 church service in the morning to get an early start on our day. I think we’ll be spending some time with the babies tomorrow too. After we figured out how to work the showers, I jumped in and took a lukewarm one and got ready for bed. Tomorrow’s going to be a loooooooong day.
