Kenya Update: from Leigh

I was able to talk to Bella and Jana on the phone this morning. They made it safely from LA to Detroit to Amsterdam to Nairobi, then spent the night there and then hopped a small plane up to Kitale. Bella sounded tired, but was excited to tell Leighton about the 4 planes that she went on. Jana was glad they made it there, but said that Bella was really tired which made it really hard for her to interact with the kids at Sister Freda's Cottage Hospital. Just pray that she starts warming up and playing with the kids. I am hoping this will come with rest and familiarity over the next few days. Jana is tired too, and please pray for her as she balances being a team leader, Mommy to Bella, and lover of people in Kenya. I was just thinking this morning that it would be an exhausting enough journey just to get home to familiarity. But, to go all that way and then experience your first day in Africa, with it's beautiful people, different smells, amazing stories, and high-touch kids can easily get overwhelming! I'll keep you posted when I talk to Bella and Jana tomorrow....
