Dear Friends and Family,
I'm sitting at the airport in Nairobi waiting to board my flight to London. The Mwiti family dropped me off and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the last few days at their beautiful home has been for me. Their lovely house is peaceful and serene, and the grounds are amazing. They have planted so much of God's creation, and their large garden blesses their table and many of their friends' as well. It has been the perfect place for rest and relaxation, and Gladys and Gershon, I'm so grateful for your generous hospitality.
The last few days I have seen the extremes of Nairobi, from the lovely and gracious Country Club, built in 1912 by the British, where Donna and Larry Donahoo took me to a delicious lunch, to the slums of Mathare, where I met the most amazing CTK pastors and saw their "mission field". 80% of those living in Nairobi live in one of the slums.
I leave here very excited to be home again, to see my house and sleep in my bed. I have missed all of you, and can't wait to see you again.
I have been so blessed to have so many caring people taking this journey with me. Your emails, messages and notes have been such a comfort for me, and I appreciated each and every one of them. Thanks too for all of you who gave to make this trip possible. Your gifts were not wasted.
I will be seeing you real soon. With love and a big hug to each of you, Kitty
