July 2011 Trip: The First 4 days flew by!

The first 4 days in Kenya have passed quickly and we'll try to catch you up to date! The flights for Lynn, Collyn and Steph were smooth and we arrived in the Nairobi airport at 9 p.m. Saturday. Well, Wendy---- not so much!  Due to computer glitches at INDY!...she missed the flight from Indy to Chicago, missed by 20 minutes our flight from Chicago to London and then by 20 minutes the flight from London to Nairobi.

Blessing was that British Airways took care of her and got her on an overnight Kenya Airways flight, so she arrived at Nairobi at 6:30 a.m. Sunday morning, not knowing if we had any idea where she was.  We had kept up wth her flights, and our nice folks at Methodist Guest house picked her up, holding a big Wendy Fodstad sign.  All was well, and Wendy looked amazingly wide awake!

We went to church at Lavington United with the Magetos - Chrystal and Teddy continue to grow up into wonderful young people...Peter and Irene continue to be busy with work. Peter as Dean of a school at Daystar University, Irene teaching Nursing now thankfully in Nairobi.

After church which I always love there, filled with the hospitality and a cup of tea they offered, we went to a frozen yogurt shop for lunch. Chrystal's choice!  Then hugs goodbye and off to Nakuru we went, where we checked into the Flamingo Lodge.  Our teams have stayed there often and the staff remembered and welcomed us warmly.

To be continued......
