We have arrived in Nairobi and are almost over jet lag. We've been here a week now, and we're lovin' it here. The weather is ideal. They say it is one of their hottest months and it is a lovely partly cloudy 75 degrees. The mornings and evenings are a little cooler and it can get quite windy. We are staying with our good friends, Jon and Priscilla. This is a view of their home and a tiny bit of the office showing down the slope on the left.
We have enjoyed meeting with the univesity students here in Nairobi. Several of them along with their leaders met with us at their church last Sunday afternoon, then we joined their weekly meeting on the campus of the University of Nairobi on Monday evening. We will be meeting individually with some of the students and their leaders.
One interesting thing about the student ministry is that at least 3 of the Kenyan leaders were discipled as college students in the 80's by one of our alums who was here for 2 years as a Journeyman. The investment she made has multiplied so many times, I'm not sure we will know the extent of it until we get to heaven!
A bit of nostalgia: Jon and Bob posing in front of the Pizza Garden. They ate th
ere with their team of students in 1980. They all stayed in Nairobi for a few days before heading to Zambia. The Jackaranda Hotel is still there across the street.
