Just wanted to update that I'm here in Nairobi! Flights were smooth, luggage arrived, and now I have internet and a phone! It's been a busy couple of days getting situated in the apartment, but I'm pretty much unpacked. I have met tons of friendly folks here at Rosslyn. All of them have been so helpful, welcoming, hospitable, and encouraging. Even when we went to the Village Market (like a mall, with a grocery store) we ran into Rosslyn people. It was just like going to the Wal-Mart back home.

In my devotion today I came across Isaiah 12:2- "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." I really wasn't afraid of this move, this step in faith. However, in the midst of travel (those flights can get long!) my mind wandered and a little doubt crept in. I thought, "What am I doing!?" I mentally asked God, um, are you sure about this? Thankful for a sense of peace, I know that I am called here and that teaching at Rosslyn is part of His plan for my life. He is my strength; I will trust and not be afraid. I am so happy to be here!
Take heart that I am being taken care of! We (my awesome roommate Lindsey and I) have had the best time with our generous host Terri. She has toted us to the market, helped us find what we needed, and even made us dinner! Tonight we had Ethiopian at Habesha with some Rosslyn Ladies. This place is all about community- I love it. Also, Ethiopian food is fun and tasty!
