Africa!!!

Hey everyone! Habari Yako?! I am finally in Africa! I arrived here in Nairobi last night, after some long flights from Toronto. Orientation was good, but it was a lot of fun to meet my team and start to get to know each other. God definitely snuck in a little blessing for me, as I was given a second class seat from London to Nairobi....what luxury compared to normal seats! I was the only member of my team to have one, even though my ticket was for the normal seats! Anyways, I'm in Africa! The first thing that really hit me, was the soldier right outside of the airport....carrying a large machine gun. Woah, I'm definitely not in Canada. Driving to the guesthouse I'm staying at was also interesting, yet very scary. At one point, there was a large spike belt layed across the road that the police put there randomly, just to see if you're paying attention! Today I walked to a market, which was an experience in itself. Everyone stared at me.....like come on, it's not like I look different from them at all. Crossing the street is a free for all. I'm pretty sure they try to hit you when you cross! One of my team members almost got smoked by a truck. Oh I love Africa. This might be my last post in a while, because I don't know if we will have easy access to an internet when we are in Arusha. We leave there on monday, so keep me in your prayers as the travelling is kind of scary. I love you all, and miss you guys.....well...kind of!
