Camp 53 - Travel Days

This will be short, because I'm wiped out.  I am back in Kenya with an amazing group of people.  We have traveled to the John and Mary Sure DeFore Vocational Training Institute to conduct a foundations camp for our incoming class.

 

Our flights were smooth, though a bit delayed.  We arrived in Kenya with all of our bags and that's what matters.  After driving to our Arrival Center at Kamulu, we shared a meal with the Mbuvis and went straight to bed.

 

Today we drove from Nairobi all the way to the VTC.  Counting lunch and a supplies stop at Nakumatt, it took us 9 1Ž2 hours.  We drove the southern route this time, through Narok, Bomet, Sotik and Kisii.  Along the way we saw some of the great Kenyan travel blessings; amazing views, baboons playing on the road, a bad road accident, and Masai tribesmen tending their herds.  We arrived just before dark.

 

After unloading we went straight over to Dirubi Orphanage to share evening devotional with the kids.  There was great singing, mercifully short preaching, and we all joined in on a song with the Dirubi Choir, "Happy We Are, Happy We Should Be."  All in all a very productive day.  Tomorrow, we will start camp with these 40 students who have only just arrived themselves.

 

Hang on folks, this one is going to be fun!
