We also had the chance to go to a an elephant sanctuary, where they look after orphaned elephants. So cute!
As an introduction to my ministry, I arrived just in time to go on a camping trip to Lake Naivasha a couple hours outside of Nairobi. A lot of these girls are on the soccer (football) team that I am working with. It was a great opportunity to get to know some of them. It was pretty much everyone's first time sleeping in a tent...so that was cool to see them experience!
Those grey humps are Hippos!! Very rare to see them out of the water, so we were thankful to have the experience on the way to the island!
One of a few giraffes that we spotted just wandering around! Even cooler to see them in the wild than to see them in the giraffe centre!
And sometimes you take selfies with the little girl who lives next door.
My ministry partner Katherine and some of the kiddies that live nearby. People are always poppin' by!
Birthday lunch! Was so blessed by these new friends on my birthday. I love that I'll never forget where I was and what was happening in my life when I turned ....???? :P
Thanks so much to each and every one of you for your love, prayers and support. I may be so far away, but I can honestly say I don't feel that way...it feels like you are on this journey with me!!! I love you guys and will continue to update when I am able to !!
