It happened like this. We meet, Allison and I, and were so happy to finally be friends in person. After talking for a bit we decided to go find our departure gate. As we were headed that way Allison said something about sitting by an military personnel on the flight to Chicago. I looked at her like, What! and she said you too!? You have to understand this wasn't the first time something seemingly crazy like this happened.

As if God wanted to let us know just how into details He is, we looked at our boarding passes as we got to our gate and we were sitting on the same row. We had tried to select our seats together the day before but it wouldn't work so we gave up. I know you may be think, "What's the big deal about that!?" Well, I just love how our Father delights to care for us even in the smallest, and what we would call insignificant ways. If He will take care of me in the smallest ways surely I can trust Him in the 'big' ones too.

The rest of the trip was uneventful, and l o n g! We got to Nairobi Tuesday evening and spend the night at a hotel. Thankfully didn't have any issues with visas or customs.

We arrived at Naomi's around noon yesterday, noon our time that is. The next few days we will be getting settled in and adjusting to life here. Two months is a bit different than 10 days. :) I have loved seeing all the kids again! They have grown up so much! It's fun to see their expression when I call their names (those that I remember). It's like, how do you know MY name??

It's quite busy around here since school started this past Monday, which means that 40 extra kids from the community have started attending CPA. The original plan was to have the new school building finished when school started but because of some unexpected issues it will now open in May. To learn more about how CPA will impact the surrounding community go to namoisvillage.org and look under the Cornerstone tab.

I'm just a bit tired but before I say bye, I cannot express to you how much I appreciate your prayers! Just to know that there are those whose love and support what God has called me into for these two months is such an encouragement. Can I say please don't stop! I know these next few weeks are going to eject me from my comfort zone and I want to be okay with that. I read Psalms 144 this morning and loved how God trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle and that through it all His steadfast love is there. Often times it's the learning what God is trying to teach me that's the hardest.

I will leave you with a few cute faces! :)
