Well, I made it back safely from Kenya! All in all, it was an amazing trip. Words really can't describe it. But hopefully they'll do justice to my experience. And a few pictures will surely help, too :)

I love to write (as most bloggers do, I assume) so I kept a daily journal during my week in Kenya. It was used to record the facts of my adventures, as well as my thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc. throughout the week. Some of it was personal, but I really want to share my experiences with you guys, so I'm going to be posting my journal. Yes, I'll edit some of it out. (Like I said, there's some personal stuff.) But I hope it gives you the gist of what we did, saw, heard, and experienced in the beautiful land of Kenya.

I'll be posting a separate blog for each day in Kenya. I think this is the best way, because you would definitely be overwhelmed if I lumped the whole week into one post. Some days I'll post one blog, and some days I'll probably post more than one. The titles of my blog posts will correspond to the days I'm describing. Hopefully it won't get too confusing.

I'm in Midland now, and I'll head back to Lubbock in an hour or so. Tonight I'll try to start on my Africa blogs (complete with pictures!) but since I don't know how to do pictures yet, it may take longer.

Thanks SO MUCH to all of you who prayed for us while we were overseas. It meant the world to us to know we are loved and cared for by those of you back in the States. So again, thank you!

I know this post was jumbled and I probably rambled a bit, but I'm still pretty tired and worn out from the 31 hours of traveling it took to get home from Nairobi. Yes, that's THIRTY-ONE hours of traveling! But I'll explain that better in a later post.. :)

That's all for now, but stay tuned!
