We are here!

The 410 team has made it safely to Kenya. It was a long 22 hours with a surprise stop in Rome! However, we didn't get to make it off the plane. The plane was refueled and a new flight crew came aboard. We made it to Ethiopia just in time to run to our next plane. We arrived in Kenya, purchased our visas, and started the search for the luggage. Unfortunately, we don't know where our luggage is and neither do the airport personnel. :) The part of our team from North Carolina received their luggage, but us traveling from Atlanta didn't. We arrived at The Heart Lodge and are so blessed to be staying in such a beautiful place. We look forward to dinner and a night's rest not sitting up. Tomorrow we are going to church and to Havilla (where the Daraja Children's Choir live). If we don't get our luggage, we are off to shopping in the local mart. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support. We will update you tomorrow.
