We arrived safely in Nairobi at about 9 PM local time. The kids did great on the planes and the layover in London. It took us an hour to get through immigration and customs. There were no problems, the line just goes slowly. Actually, a gentleman took pity on our kids and moved us to a different line (one for people coming from other African countries) and we were able to get our visas there. Then we collected our luggage, tipped the man who helped us find it all and went to customs. God must have given us favor with her as well because she looked at the kids and said "Welcome to Kenya" and we were done. She didn't even have us open one of our 9 cases. So we exited the airport, were greeted by the other missionaries (who were beginning to think we missed our flight) and made it home.
We are experiencing a great deal of jet-lag, and the tiredness is slowing us down. We have a beautiful home here and are trying to unpack and move in. The other missionaries on the compound have been very helpful but we have loads to learn still. (Though we just learned how to wash our dishes and rinse with bleach so we are getting there.)
Lexi and Nate are excited about their new rooms. Lexi's is pink with polka-dots - just perfect for her. Nate's is really cool to, but harder to explain. (He has yet to actually sleep in it).
We are going to try driving today and shopping after we exchange our money. Hopefully by our next post we will be unpacked.
