Jambo!! I have ABSOLUTELY no service :( so I wanted to email you to let you know a little about how my trip was going! After a very VERY long trip we finally made it to our hotel in Nairobi around midnight on saturday. Sunday we went to a church and got to experience worship with the locals. Although it was a very long service (4 hours) it was amazing. After the service we went to HaVilla orphanage and got to hang out with some of the kids. It was so much fun. And yesterday we drove 4 hours to Andana where we visited our work site at the Segera school. The kids were so excited. We got to eperience alot of culture there, just watching them sing and dance for us. After that we went to the mission site and got to listen to the story of how segera got started. Thats a little long so I will have to go into detail when I get home. Today was a little more work. We layed sand in all the rooms to prepare for cement, then we shoveled rocks and prepared the cement ( it was obvious all the working out I do is no help!) but then we got to play games and do crafts with the kids. We will do pretty much the same thing as today for the next 4 days. Tomorrow though we get to hand out shoes! Oh and yall would be so proud, today they killed and roasted a goat today to show their appreciation and i actually ate it! It is not something i want to eat very often! But I just wanted to let yall know I am here and safe. Much love!!!-Robyn

Yeah, it is so good to get info. Evidently Robyn was able to email. Maybe she should instruct Aaron or Kirk in how to get news to Andrea. :) Thanks, Kim, for sharing.
If any of you know robyn you know that goat isn't her first choice of meals. LOL. Thank you so much for posting these blogs. its alot harder when your sister goes by herself(without mom and dad) and having more info really helps. Im praying that all goes well and that everyones family and friends are safe and healthy.
