Update time....
Lots has happened since the last post. First of all, after touring London all day, Nick and I came back to our hostel and our bags we not where we put them, so we went looking around. we found nicks bag with a slit in the top section. Someone clearly knifed his bag. Mine bag was gone altogether. We talked to the hostel people and they looked at the cameras and clearly saw a guy slit nicks bag and then pick mine up and leave. The police couldn't do anything, so i had nothing except what was on me. I was pretty mad...so i had to buy everything new again, lucky jarrett's friend tim was there to help us find stores. Tim is the MAN. My DAD is also the man because he gave me a bunch of his clothes later that night when we met them at their hotel. Thanks Dad. It was nice to see my parents before we took off to Kenya.
The bag being stolen has been a blessing in diguise because it has allowed me to spend lots of time reading the bible and praying. I know God is going to do some crazy things on this trip.
We got to nairobi, kenya at like 230 in the morning. i had contacted someone my Dad knew here and they were going to meet us at the airport. After waiting an hour, i called Bella and Richard. They came and got us. They have been the most amazing hosts. Provided us with rides everywhere, food and a place to stay. We have gone to a bunch of malls to pick things up, went out to eat alot, went to see some animals, and just seeing Nairobi as much as possible.
We are kind of just catching up with sleep and just getting used to this culture and lifestyle. Nairobi is crazy. The drivers are nuts...but Richard rules the road, so we are good to go. At 5:00 the roads are crazy with cars and thousands of people walking alongside the road. Its been a great experience so far. Looks like we will be heading out of the city on saturday and we will visit a Maasai village there.
I wish i could put some pics on here...when i have more time I will try.
I also want to say hello to my beautiful new neice Illyana. Congrats Joel and Tanesha.

Jame! What craziness from the start! I'm so glad your keeping a positive outlook about God working in your life on this trip. He's going to do great things and just reveal Himself more and more to you each day. I guess He felt like somebody else needed those big shiny watches more than you did Jame. Be safe. Love ya.
