Hit the ground running...

Hey everyone

I made it to Nairobi at 6:30 am Thursday morning. Bwana Asifiwe! Other than some lost luggage, everything went great! God is so amazing! I prayed for a few things, but God gave me so much more…
• I got an expedited passport in 8 hours, at the regular expedited rate!
• I got the soonest possible flight to Nairobi, for just the normal change fee!
• My flight connections were all on time, and I didn’t experience any travel delays
• I got some sleep on the plane, and arrived in Nairobi feeling great!
• I was able to “hit the ground running” yesterday, and join the rest of the team :)

Thank you all for your prayers and support! I feel like it wasn’t just me that stepped of that plane in Nairobi yesterday, but a huge group of friends, family and supporters came with me! As many of you told me, God must have a purpose for me here in Kenya, since He’s definitely demonstrated His faithfulness and mercy in getting me here. I’m so excited to be a part of this team, and look forward to sharing more “God sightings” with you soon!

Mungu aku bariki!
Heather

P.S. I gave hugs to Beka, Dakota, Matt, Nicole and Jesse as instructed. That was the fun part :)
