Highlights and Lowlights of Kenya

Final thoughts on Kenya:

Highlights:

Safari- which is obvious why from the photos : )

Presentation day with the Bjork- just being able to see them realize they are accomplishing their mission and realizing that we helped them achieve it is such an amazing blessing

Closing time- just being able to rehash the week and share insights on each other- it is always sweet to see how God brings different individuals together to make a team. I love hearing what people had to say about each other- always so awesome.

Lowlights:

Robbing- Yes, that is correct, we were robbed. Wednesday morning our team went down for breakfast and all of us had left our computers and valuables in the room during the 15-30 minute breakfast time. During that time, 3 laptops, 1 projector, 1 phone, 1 I-Pod, 1 wallet with multiple credit cards, and about $820 in cash. That was an incredibly sad day, but I know that the Lord is teaching us something through that, and even through this set-back we were still able to finish every thing.

Not being able to experience a lot of Nakuru or even Kenya. I would love to be able to travel back to Kenya and see the people and the culture there sometime. That was not our main focus of the trip obviously so we weren’t able to experience that much, but it would be interesting just to see it. Especially after living in Uganda, I love seeing how the countries that are so close vary so much.
