mombasa!


Hello everyone!  I just got back into Nairobi from our little break in Mombasa.  We all had such a good time relaxing and taking in lots of "once in a lifetime" moments.  Thanks to the Turner family's gift of letting us stay at their place for free, for roughly $30 I watched the sun rise over the Indian Ocean, I rode a camel on the beach, I soaked up lots of sun (that I'm not used to as it's rarely warm in Kinangop), and I even enjoyed a refrigerator for a week!  It was a great week full of laughs, beautiful scenery, and time to recharge.  On the ten hour trek back home, all I could think about was how thankful I should be because of how truly blessed I am....well, that and how Katie and I could keep the cockroaches from crawling on us during the ride back.  As great as the last week has been, I honestly can't wait to get back home to Tumaini where those little ones are waiting!  I've missed hearing a string of my girls say "La la wega, Lindsey!" through my window before bedtime....

It's back home Tuesday morning!  My other SIMpacters won't be returning with me this time, so I would appreciate your prayers as I re-adjust without them.  I thank you ahead of time...

Much love,
Lindsey
