The rest of the team got off last night from O'Hare, all 10 of them. It made us a little nervous when we learned, however, that the computers for the whole international terminal were down, not a very comforting feeling. After a good 90 minute wait, they came back on the check in went smoothly. I just love the image of people from Oasis standing in front of a mountain of footlockers with huge smiles. God has great things in store for this team. I am especially excited for the two "3 generation" families. Ann Smith has both her father, Dr. Matlak and daughter Katie with her and my wife Jill has her mother, Anita, and daughter Piper along as well. There is also a Herden 2 Generation mother daughter team (Danna and Kira) as well as a Boyack 2 Gen. team of Sherrie and Katy. Sherri and Katy are first timers for Kenya. We are also blessed to have the husband/wife combo of Livia and Scott (first timers to Kenya too). Lastly, the well seasoned world traveler, Nate who has been in more developing countries than I have States.
Flight left got off the ground at 5:50 and made it to London just fine. The should be arriving Nairobi about noon today our time.
Got word from Ann who is already in Nairboi. Joseph and his son Michael along with Vincent's brother came in to Nairobi to see Noah Leboo as he is recovering from surgery. They have hooked up with Ann, Dr. Matlak and Katie and are all headed to Kijabe hospital together. I am sure Noah will greatly appreciate the greeting committee.
We hope to get blog posting directly from the team as they get their feet on the on the ground in Kenya. Please keep them in your prayers for the next 2 weeks.
