Travel Day 1 - Kenya or bust!
Today was the day! Today the team met at Immanuel Church before heading to O’hare. Once at the airport we were met if our first snag. Unfortunately it resulted in our much loved Barry Tumblin not being able to join us on our journey. As you can imagine there is disappointment across the team and we all miss Barry’s presence. However, we are thankful for all those that pursued every avenue in an attempt to resolve the travel issues.
The rest of the team was able to check-in, check bags, get through security and ready themselves for the first leg of almost 24 hours in of travel.
The first flight went smoothly and the layover in Frankfurt, Germany was simple. We left from the same gate that we had arrived from. It was enough time to shop, eat, and nap (depending of what was desired).
Second flight through to Nairobi, Kenya also went smoothly, as did Immigration and luggage security. The only snag was our transport to the hotel. But after a delay we all safely made it to the hotel and our rooms to catch a solid 6 hours of sleep before the start of our first day on the ground in Kenya.
Thank you all for your prayerful support! We can’t wait to share what God will do this week!
With love,
Deb, Diana, Heidi, Yamille, Steve, and Lynn
