They’re Here!

Anyone and everyone who has read any blog entries, you must read this one! Finally, after months of planning and waiting, my parents have arrived here in Nairobi! You could call it The Incredible Journey, or Into Africa…or something equally literary and stimulating…but, whatever you call it, they’re living it! So, thank you for your prayers and concern for them as they traveled across the miles.

Jean and I (and Ez and Zay too) had a long journey of our own to pick them up – what usually takes us about 45 minutes took us a little over 3 hours yesterday as we ran into some heavy traffic. It was simply awe inspiring (we registered a high 9 on the Shock and Awe factor!) as we watched 2 lanes become 8, and oncoming cars ventured into where they shouldn’t venture. But, we were so thankful (as the time kept passing – 2 hours in first gear) that our friends the Epps had arrived at the airport an hour earlier, and so were there to meet mom and dad, and sit (and have coffee) with them while they waited for us. So, hours later than we expected, we found them and welcomed them to Kenya. What followed was another amazing sight, as we turned around and headed home. NO TRAFFIC! Strange, yet that is what Nairobi, and often Kenya is – expect the unexpected.

So, another week of school, lots of talking and walking, and sleeping ahead for our guests – we’ll keep you posted with pictures on our adventures with them. Til then, thank you again for remembering us in your prayers and thoughts, and sending the occasional email.

Wishing peace for you this Christmas,
The Enns’ in Kenya
