Day 1 - A Day of Rest

We arrived the guest house a little later than expected due to a delay getting out of Amsterdam as well as some phone problems when we arrived at the Nairobi airport.  It was well after midnight before we were able to get to sleep so we weren't in a big hurry to wake up when our alarm went off the next morning.  I don't care how much (if any) sleep you get on an airplane, it's just not GOOD sleep!  We made our way to breakfast and afterwards had church indoors since it appears we brought the rains with us!  We succumbed to naps in lieu of lunch and were awakened to the pleasant surprise of a phone call from Zippy telling us she was in Nairobi and asked if we would like to take a meal with her.  She took us to the Solar Garden and we ate in true Kenyan style, meaning without utensils!  Chicken, pork and lamb accompanied by ugali and a salad which tasted amazing like the mild tomato salsa at Chipotle!

Upon returning to the guesthouse, we learned that our chef (Sos Peter) was on his way to the hospital to visit his 7 month old son Chris who has been sick for over a week now.  At first diagnosed as malaria, he is now suffering from side effects of the medication and has been diagnosed instead with a form of pneumonia.  Right now Chris is on a breathing machine and has not been responsive (no movement and no crying).  Please pray for little Chris to experience full and complete healing from God.  We had opportunity to do the same and told Sos Peter we will continue to remember him and his family.  Sos Peter has been unable to visit his son as often as he would like because he can't afford transportation between his place of employment and the hospital every day.
