We've been in Kenya for a little over a week now and are pretty much all recovered from jet lag! So far most of our time has been spent getting oriented for going to Sudan, and working on shopping for all the supplies we will need in Sudan. Not too exciting, but all necessary things. This weekend we were anxious to get out of the city, so we went up to Kijabe and visited friends up there. Kijabe is a little north of Nairobi and is the location of Rift Valley Academy (RVA) where Ginny went to highschool, and she still knows some people there. It's in a great location right on the edge of the Great Rift Valley. Here are a few pictures from the weekend:
A chameleon! This one was caught in Kijabe.
The town of Kijabe. We got yummy Kenyan food (stew and chapatis) at one of the little Dukahs (like a mini-restaurant).
Tennis and basketball courts at RVA with Kijabe Hill in the background.
Us in the forest just outside RVA.
A butterfly that we spotted in the forest.
A view out over the Great Rift Valley. The mountain on the right is Mount Longonot, a dormant volcano.
We share a desire to see God's name known across the globe, as well as a love of science and the outdoors. Our goal is to bring these elements together to find our place to serve. From June until December 2010, this means going to southern Sudan and working on a water project with SIM (Serving in Mission). We don't know what it means next, but we'll keep you updated here on the adventures life takes us on!
Awesome!!
