Giraffe Center

journey home

we are about headed home - our journey will take all weekend, and we are of course sad to leave Kenya. As a send off, we had the chance to pet and kiss giraffes! We'll post more later! :) We'll be home Sunday night, Lord willing!

Arrived

1. We have safely arrived in Kenya with only minimal delay, ALL of our luggage in good condition, ALL of our people, ALL of our people in good health. All connections were smooth. All the ladies (including th kiddos in strollers) of the team enjoyed 8 hours exploring London during our layover while Mike and Josh held down the fort at the airport. We are so glad to be enjoying the lovely spring-like weather in Kijabe and have alredy enjoyed eating at the local "restaurant" and taking a walk around the compound. Our next few days include: sleep (we can't wait!!!), visiting a family or two to encourage them in the Lord, more walking, reviewing our VBS lessons with our Kenyan friends, church with the Masaai, orphanage ministry, and dinner with a Sudanese family.
   
   We'll keep you posted as we are able, but have very limited email access.

Headed to Kenya!

We are headed to Kenya - we will try to update this blog as we are able during our experience. Please pray for us! You can email us at jarattin@yahoo.com.

Actually headed to Kenya!

We're only 3 weeks away from our long awaited trip: we depart for Kijabe May 21st and return June 8th. Please be praying for us!
