Jambo everybody

January 21, 2008

Jambo everybody!!! We arrived safely late last night at Komo Kenyatta! (A Kenyan airport) Last night we were at the baggage claim area and had just taken our last bag from the conveyer belt when we started to realize that our ride was not there! We searched through the crowd of drivers in search of our own. A lady on the airport staff let us borrow her cell phone because it was just a coincidence that my dad’s international-phone was not working at the time! So we called the lady that was supposed to arrange our ride and she said to get a van/taxi from Express (a taxi service). God protected us and we arrived at our hotel safely! This morning we went to a store that is like a Kenyan Wal-Mart but not as nice! We are going to the hospital in two tiny airplanes tomorrow morning so please pray that our next flight will be safe and smooth!
Sincerely,
Livy

    Hey Olivia,
    Glad to hear that God took care of everything for you guys. He always is going before you and knows your need before you do. Just keep the faith. Missed you in PE. Didn’t play Bball, the court was too wet. Just played some games inside. Looking forward to hearing all of your exciting stories of your trip. Keep everyone in line. Take care.
    Love,
    Mrs. Perego

    Hey Olivia,
    How is everything in Africa so far? Seen any wild animals? Can’t wait to hear all of the wonderful stories you will have when you get back. Art class was very quiet today. Several were out sick or out of town. We made our designs out of clay for sculpting next week.
    Hope you are making many new friends. See you soon,
    Love,
    Karlee

    Hey Olivia,
    Glad to finally you arrived not only in Africa, but in Blog Land! I love reading each of your perspectives on your trip because each one is so unique! School was quiet today since you weren’t there (I mean that in the most positive sense!). We’re working diligently on our poetry portfolio, so if you write any poems and want to add them to the school blog, please feel free to do so, and I’ll pass them on to the class. Keep blogging, girl!
    Lots of love and prayers,
    Ms. Holly
