Can I just say this was a great trip!! We arrived in Nairobi in the late afternoon just about the same time as another MLS Couple from Mwanza, Tanzania. Upon on arrival we were greeted by Elder Shakespeare and Elder Horner. Elder and Sister Shakespeare are serving as LDS Humanitarian missionaries and Elder and Sister Horner are serving as MLS missionaries but they are serving in Kenya. They took us to the flat where we would be staying with some of the other MLS couples and three of the couples who serve in the mission office. When we got there, we were greeted by Elder and Sister Banks who also serve in Tanzania in a city called Arusha. In total there are 5 MLS couples in the mission right now. Three serving in Tanzania and two serving in Kenya. That evening the couples from the office had a spaghetti dinner for us and we just had a good time getting to know each other. On Wednesday morning we were up and ready to go to the mission office for our MLS Conference with the Mission President and his wife. It was a wonderful meeting full of instruction, inspiration, sharing of experiences and the love we all had for those we are serving. We soon learned that we all were serving where we were supposed to be and that each was having a totally different experience even though we were all assigned as MLS missionaries.
That night we ordered pizza and continued to share. The next morning we got to see more of Nairobi, it started early in the morning at Nairobi National Park for a game dive. We started early enough that we were able to see this beautiful sunrise.
We saw many of the animals not the least of which was a big baboon!!!!!!!!
There were Cape buffalo.
The giraffe were graceful as always!!!!!!!
This looks like a whole family having
breakfast together!
Zebras
with their families!
Then of course, the overly friendly big baboon!
But that is a story for another day.
