We’ve been on the road 40 days today, kind of unbelievable. It feels like we left yesterday. It’s gone so quickly, and we know that the next 40 days are going to FLY by, as well.

We really enjoyed Kenya. We were able to meet with ministries and are so encouraged by what people are doing in East Africa! We’re really thankful for the opportunity to be traveling through these countries and seeing how God has been working through people here.

Also, we’re thankful for our personal safety. Honestly, we weren’t fearful being in Kenya, but the news sure made the situation seem dramatic. But, there were several incidents in Nairobi before and during our stay, we’re thankful that we were out of harms way.

Speaking of safety, we did have a little “incident” at the border. Marc installed a safe in our truck so we could keep our emergency money and passports, etc. safe (and so we wouldn’t misplace them…). Last time we got things out of the safe, I checked the battery, but somehow between border crossings the batteries were low and we actually weren’t even able to open the safe with our code to get our passports at the Kenyan border. And, of course, we had no idea where the key was.

So, we paid someone to break into it for us.

It was either that or a half days drive to the nearest “city” and then hoping we could find a locksmith to help. It costs us $15 to go about 60 miles, so that seemed like a costly alternative. So, breaking in it was. The guy was quick (maybe, too quick…?) and we were thankful to be back on the road!
