Monday night in Kenya!
We arrived in Nairobi, bought our Visas and said goodbye to Lynne.  She couldn't wait to see a certain daughter of hers!  We'll be meeting up with her on Friday, June 1st.

Chuck and Liz found their taxi cab driver and he took them to the Mayfield Guest House which is associated with African Inland Mission and houses Christians who are in Nairobi for all sorts of reasons.  They also serve 3 homecooked American meals everyday.

Sunday we attended 2 separate churches, and lo and behold! at the first one we heard a guest American speaker.  But the 2nd we had a true Kenyan preacher.  We were surprised at how many "American" songs they sing, but also some very meaningful of Kenyan origin.  And they love to sing!  Afterwards, at both churches, we were treated to true Kenyan hospitality with a visitors' tea.

Though this is now our Monday evening (we are 10 hours ahead of PDX) we are signing off.  You will hear some of our "real life" thoughts from today's journey into the slum area, and some wonderful things God is doing there through Uzima in tomorrow's 2-day edition.     Liz and chuck
