Greetings from Kenya

One week down, less than a week to go. I'm totally thrilled to be here in Kenya on this mission trip. God has moved in amazing and powerful ways. Our team finished the cement roof on the building even though it seemed to be an impossible job. The 43 people on our team seemed to bond very well and that is a pretty cool thing.
I got to do lots of fun touristish things like go to a giraff center and feed giraffs, and even feed them from my mouth, and shop at the markets and on Saturday we got to go to an animal orphanage and I got to pet the cheetahs!! One even licked my hand. They were as sweet as giant oversized domestic cats.
I am going to be very sad when I have to leave. I am just amazed with this.

I'm glad you finally posted too. I was checking a lot to see if you had a chance. It's funny becuase I already knew about the animal orphanage and the cheetahs because of WordFm and the blogs. It is fun reading about your trip from someone else's perspective. I knew you would be thrilled about petting cheetahs and the animal orphanage. I can't wait for you to come home. Love ya!!
