We are ready to leave for Kenya!!!

Leah and I arrived at Dulles Airport at the same time!!! Check in was a breeze. Security has been a little bit of an issue for Leah because she is carrying all the boxes of SHARPENED pencils in her carry-on bag.😱😰 She has been FRISKED (she claims she was SEARCHED not frisked) a few times between Albuquerque and VA.🙈

We have our Starbucks coffee and relaxing before the first leg of our trip - 8hrs 49mins to Zurich.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John 15:16 God chose us and appointed us to go and bear fruit that will last in Kenya this past 12 days. The LORD Himself has accomplished that which He spoke into being and His purposes have been fulfilled through the Precious Jewel Nairobi Summits. Noni and Leah back where we began - Washington DC We arrived safely on Monday afternoon at Dulles Airport in Washington DC. It was somewhat sad having to say goodbye to each other. Leah took a shuttle to Reagan National Airport for her flight back to Albuquerque and I went home. Six years of praying, eight months of planning have come to an end. To God be all the glory for the great things He has done in and through us. Leah landed in Albuquerque at 11:42 pm (1:42 am EST). She is safely home and that brings our trip to an end. We thank You, Lord Je...

Oh give thanks to the   Lord , for he is good; for His steadfast love endures forever! 1 Chronicles 16:34 Leah holding "Sweetys" I hope you had a lovely thanksgiving. We spent the day at the tea farm in Muranga, located in the Central Province.The farm is about 2.5 hours from Nairobi. Leah got to experience buying bananas out of the car window.😃 We got stuck in heavy rush-hour traffic on our way back home, so we were terribly tired but we did not mind because we got to sleep in on Friday. Friday, November 29th - we visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife sanctuary where we got to watch elephants rescued from the wild being fed. You can also pet the elephants which come right up to Feeding time you because there is only a rope between you and the elephant. Each animal has a name and story of how it was rescued.

Time to say goodbye! Sunday, December 1, 2019  - our last day in Nairobi, Kenya! We thank God for holding the rain back all of Saturday. It started raining about 8pm when we were safely back in the house. It rained all night and ceased in the morning. By the time we got out to go to church, the skies were clearing! It was a wonderful Advent church service at St. Francis Anglican Church in Karen. Noni, Leah & Ciku After church we passed through Java for one last coffee treat! After a nice Kenyan lunch in honor of Leah – which included cooked green bananas [Leah’s favorite], open-fire roasted goat meat [Leah loved it], vegetables and fresh fruit salad [another favorite of Leah’s] it was time for final packing and final goodbyes. We had a chance to say goodbye to our dedicated driver, Ibra (short for Ibrahim). He is a gentle soul, very patient and knows all the short cuts to avoid the annoying Nairobi traffic. My niece, Ciku (pronounced Shiko) par...
