We are now in Kenya!!

Hi All--

Finally got a decent connection here in Nairobi at the hotel.  So hope you
get this message. Our trip last Friday from the Congo and through Uganda
was long and challenging but we made it to Kampala, stayed there one night
and then flew to Nairobi on Saturday.  We have had a great time visiting
the Kenya Children's Fund Schools, both elementary and today the secondary
school.  We met  Aaron's "Moses" and gave him  some Vikings shirts and
some school stuff.  We plan to visit Daystar University this Friday and
then again on Monday.

Judy has made contact with her MASCC members here and we plan to meet them
for dinner as we did last year.

The weather has been in the mid-80's and cool at nite. It just started to
rain, which will settle the dust.  The hotel is more like a guest house
with meals, good service, and comfortable.  Even a hot shower.

Graduation is on Saturday afternoon for the first full class of graduates
from KDS, Kinyago Dondora Schools, where we visited both in 2006 and last
year.


We leave Tuesday nite, the 23rd.
