Swallowship

It's a new word our team thought Grace should adopt. When people at Nairobi Chapel get together, they get together for fellowship and swallowship. We all thought that was a pretty clever term for eating together. Granted, each of us had five hours or less sleep in us, but I think we'll still think it's a fun word tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

Well, as you can read, we made it!

I think all of us are still having a hard time believing we're in Nairobi, Kenya. Perhaps once we have a few more hours of sleep in us we'll feel it. For me, Julie, it's a little hard to believe, especially since I just ran into Lynne Padget at the coffee shop. How strange is that!?!? (for those who don't know, Lynne is a fellow Grace attender in Indiana.)

We had a little adventure at the Paris airport last night. We were close to missing our flight. However, had we not had the luggage identification issue that we had, some other luggage of ours would have been left in Paris. God works in mysterious ways. :)

The flight to Nairobi was pretty smooth, but none of us slept really well. Once we arrived in Nairobi, we went to one of the host homes for breakfast and to freshen up. At 10 am we left to attend the children's ministry networking conference. We survived through tea, but I think we all struggled to stay awake until lunch time. The session after lunch was more interactive and I think we all were doing pretty good.

Pray for Cyndy on Friday around 3 (Indy time) in the morning. Ok. If 3 am is too early for you, you can pray for her tonight too. She is speaking tomorrow around 10:20am, I believe. Pray the technical stuff will work ok too, as she wants to show them the "Who will...?" video we used for recruitment. We had a few technical issues with another speaker's video today, so we are going to try her video on my PC tomorrow.

I was trying to upload a couple pictures from Paris, but it didn't work. The first time, the power went out in the coffee shop. The second time, it decided I needed to add something. The third time, it was just taking too long. So, I will try to add a few in the next day or two. I hear Chuck has some good pictures, so I'll work on getting some of his up on the blog.

That's all for now. Goodnight.
