Its hard to believe I've been living in Nairobi almost a month. As I look back on the last few weeks I can't help but be grateful. Within the first week of arriving I was overwhelmed with information and responsibilities but at the same time - there was great grace in questions. There was a full week dedicated to our rest and company related business. I am thankful our company still sees that week of value even if its a lot of expense and planning. My birthday week was full of fun and adventure. I am still learning my way around Nairobi. The people in my life really made my day special. I attended a weekly small group for the local youth group I've been sort of assigned to get involved with. The other jgirl who goes to the church and I took the youth minister and his wife out for all 4 of our birthdays. I love this couple and their heart for not only the church but the community around the church. I have moved into my home for the remainder of my 6 months here, started learning my way around the shelves of the resource center, making less wrong turns off the roads, and trying to catch a vision of how God can use me over the next few months.

I am grateful for your continued prayers!
