From Kenya!

Good morning on Saturday, June 28 from Nairobi, Kenya! Or at least I think that's the date...I have had trouble keeping up with time and date since we left San Francisco. Laine, Pakisa, and myself made it in safely last night after two long 8-9 hour flights. The good thing was that they showed lots and lots of movies which I partially watched or fell asleep to.
This picture is of the three of us having breakfast at a little place in the Heathrow airport after our first flight that was about 9.5 hours. Needless to say that Laine and I were never so happy to see beds and showers when we finally got to Kenya.

Then there's the mosquito netting....interesting eh? Not too bad but I should work on my execution of the mosquito netting over my bed...

We are at a beautiful place in Nairobi and here are some of the wonderful flowers and stuff. Of which I have a picture but I'm just learning this thing so you don't get it today...sorry Mom! At breakfast I noticed the slight differences. The jelly is slightly different, good though, and the juice and tea were also different. Things to adjust to but I'm pretty sure I will soon miss good ol' Smuckers Strawberry jelly!

Ok nap time. I hope you all are well and I can't wait to tell and show you more!

My first blog!

So, as suggested in church this morning I have created a blog. I will be leaving Thursday for Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo for 6 months. I will do my best to blog frequently, upload photos, and the like so that everyone can better be a part of what is going on in my trip! Feel free to comment back to my blogs on this thing or email me! I also have myspace and facebook like most good young adult Americans ;-)

Thanks to Katelin and Bob for the quick tutoring session, I hope to do you both proud!

I will post again once I reach Kinshasa and get settled.
