Kokomo Team - We made it!



Greetings from Kenya,

The team from Kokomo says hello from Kenya. We finally arrived, a day late but not in the least discouraged. Yesterday was a transition day from Nairobi to Ilula. We were met by the children with roses, singing and a wonderful dance. Once the tears cleared we made introductions and now we’re part of a whole new family. The story of our travels will need to be told by the individuals because the events are to numerous to list here….hopefully the rest of our luggage will arrive before leaving for Kipkaren.
The attached pictures are us at the Mayfield House in Nairobi, and the opening ceremony of the children at school in the morning. We will add more pictures as the weeks progresses.
Sarah says hi to mom and dad. She is having a wonderful time and is spending as much time with the children as she possibly can. This is a special experience in her life. Tony and Vickie are having fun working with the mosquito nets and the out door toilets. Dick and Diana are doing fine and food has not been an issue. Keep praying for this group of people as we are loving serving in the strong name of Jesus. Check in a couple days for another update. All our love from the Kokomo Team.
