July 10 hit the ground runningafter nearly 24 hours of transit (nearly flawless transit I should say)
I finally arrived in Nairobi around 9:30pm
I filled out the appropriate paper work, including a brand new swine flew form
stood in line for my visa - which is half what it used to cost - thank you Lord!
and descended the stairs to baggage check
man what a lot of bags!!!
after what seemed like forever, I recovered my bags and made my way to the arrivals gate where I was met by my roommate, my friend and my favourite taxi driver.
I was really happy to be back
they must have thought I was insane in the car,
or that British airways had started serving crack to it's passengers
but I was giddy with happiness to be back in this second home of mine.
since then I have thrown myself back into ministry.
A team arrives today and I've had a couple days to prepare their work locations for them
I've made 8 phone calls to ministry reps and had 5 meetings in the last 2 days
and I'm loving it
I need something to keep me warm
it's winter here
and despite what you might think, not all places in Africa are hot all year long.
Sure, Nairobi winter is about 15-20 degrees
but you have to account for the fact that the homes aren't heated here
my apartment is made out of concrete
and it's a steady 19 degrees celsius (66 fahrenheit) inside!!
i keep finding myself mentally playing with the thermostat
but I am destined to me chilled to the bone for a couple more months
but the next couple of weeks should keep me running around and warming me up
the team is here till the end of the month
and once they leave I have videos to work on
I'm excited already TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://kabotu.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4925F45BA37E04!2029.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
