Day 2

Hi everyone! It is now day two and we are feeling refreshed. We were able to sleep for about ten hours last night after having dinner at St. Andrews Church and meeting some amazing people. Today we participated in a 6 mile fundraising walk for the church which was great being able to see more of Nairobi and get some excercise. During the walk we went passed the president's house and no photographs are allowed of any part of the facility. Mariah and Shannon were trying to take a picture of some flowers outside the gates, not even thinking that that was considered part of the compound, but were soon beckoned by one of the guards and had to delete the photo. Luckily, they did not have to go to prison. :) After the walk they had some snacks and drinks for us. There was a group of boys kicking a soccer ball around in a circle and we joined them. They were pretty entertained because none of us really have good soccer skills. This afternoon we will be taking a tour to see the Great Rift Valley, some tea farms, and whatever else they wish to show us. Tomorrow we will be attending three church services at St. Andrews then we will head out to Tumaini Children's Home which is an AID's orphanage. On Monday we will be heading to Mashuru for a couple of days so this may be the last update until we get back from there. We are having a great time and meeting lots of wonderful people. We appreciate all your prayers!
