Such Great Heights

So y'all:  I've made it to Kenya!  I got a good (full) night's sleep (thanks Cindy for suggesting melatonin), showered, and have had a good breakfast of coffee, juice and a homemade (er... Emily made) bagel.  How lovely it was to see Emily and get to talk to her on the way to her apartment.  The Lord has been gracious to me on this trip.  I really feel great and am ready to this day's events.

It's a wonderful thing to be able to come here knowing nothing and to get to see what Emily has been doing here and how she has learned so much about the culture.  I love this girl and am looking forward to some good time here.  BTW, the WEATHER IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Emily gave me her Christmas presents!  They are wonderful!  I got a bookmark, earrings, a bracelet and a keychain... There will be more.  I'm so excited!

I would have given her mine for her, but alas, my luggage was sent to Amsterdam and I don't get it until today, but I'm so excited to give her all of the stuff you all gave me for her.  That's about all for now. I may type my adventures on the journey later.  The Lord was gracious in my travels.  I had a change of clothes in my carry on and Emily is my size, so I can wear her clothes if needed.  I'm alright and rested.  Sipping my coffee now.  I hope you all are having a lovely middle of your early morning in the states :)!
