Just a quick note from the last remaining member of Team Kenya:
Yesterday was a pretty amazing day! We had to leave our safari early, so we didn't get to go out for our morning game drive. However, Team Leader Brian, in his infinite wisdom and generosity, decided to take us to the Animal Orphanage in Nairobi. All of Roxy's wildest dreams came true as some of us got licked by the huge, rough toungue of a LEOPARD and got to go into the cheetah inclosure and pet and play with three CHEETAH sisters!! As Kacy would say (and, in fact, DID say) it was pretty much our FAVORITE DAY EVER! PRAISE THE LORD! Bryan also had fun as we had our lunch at the Carnivore Restaurant, and some of us experienced the trials and tribulations of bargaining for souveniers at the Zebra Market (don't ask Bryan about this one...he might punch you in the face). All in all, it was a really REALLY amazing day and a wonderful end to the team's trip.
Everyone got off on time and in one piece VERY early this morning. They will be heading to London, then to Chicago, and finally home. Please be in prayer for traveling mercies and good rest for them over the next 30 hours or so.
I am getting ready to catch a matatu (public bus - minivan size, 15 passenger capacity...should be good times!) from Nairobi back up to Eldoret to spend another week in Kipkaren. Please be in prayer for ME as we travel along some dangerous and uncomfortable roads!
Thanks to all who have been reading and responding. God is doing so much in all of us and there is so much to say, but (for me, at least) all I can say right now is Bwana Asifiwe! He is good!
Wish me luck! EEK! :)
much love,
erin

Dear Erin, Sounds like a wonderful experience with the animals. Please travel safe and be careful at the airports. We'll say prayers for you today on a safe journey. Write me an e-mail or just call from London, try a cheap phone card. We'll make final arrangements to P/U at LAX. Very Proud of you for a good trip and great work you are doing. We're telling all our friends about your trip.

Erin, I'm so glad to know that you are now walking the paths of AFrica and meeting the people you have been serving from your desk in our office in Upland, Claif. God has blessed our organization with great servants and a dynamic team. I pray that these remaining days God will continue to reveal HImself to you through each moment and life you embrace.
Serving together,
Don Rogers
