We have arrived in Nairobi!

We are now in the compound and met a whole bunch of sweet people today. We feel so welcomed here. Everyone has treated us like family - it's like we've been here a while. It is amazing to live among a family of servants. This morning we attended mass, then a Holy Families meeting for young couples, then a short Bible study with Father Moses. After that, our new friends Tamer and his wife and daughter took us to go eat Turkish food - YUM!

We have a phone number now: 733814712 I don't know how to dial it from outside Kenya, so you'll have to find out. Incoming calls are free for us, so feel free to call us anytime!

The weather is nice, around 20 degrees, however inside the buildings is a bit cooler, so we have to wear sweaters. Our 'flat' is sweeet. It's as big as our condo. it has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms! Way more than we imagined. We don't have hot water yet, but I'm sure that will be fixed soon. Whoever set up our room was so sweet. They filled our fridge with veggies, milk, eggs, sausages and yogurt! And they also left us cereal, cookies, crakers, bananas, a big mango, 2 pineapples, coffee and hot chocolate! WOW! We are overwhelmed by the generosity of these people.

So far, we are really happy here. Bishop Paul comes in a couple of days, and that's when we'll figure out what we're going to be doing. Until then, we'll continue to pray and get used to our new home.

If you are dialing to Tina and Juan's cell phone from the US or Canada, you dial exactly this:
