It has been very fun to have visitors come through Nairobi since we've been here (and we welcome more! we have an extra bedroom....) This past weekend, we were blessed with visits from two friends from different parts of our lives in DC--Deborah and Kristen--and then two new friends from Ethiopia who are friends of Kristen. News from home, talking through our thoughts about life in Nairobi, sharing meals together--these are life-giving times.
It's pretty late here, so I (Darlene) am not going to write a long post--only to say that I think I needed the break from our DC social scene that keeps us so busy all the time, but that these visits remind me of the amazing community that we have and makes me so thankful that DC has become home.
I leave you with a piece of 1998 (or whenever phones first started to have built-in cameras) and this awesome, grainy photo (taken by my high-tech, smarter than smartphone tonight after dinner) of friends making the gesture we attribute to taxi drivers here--the "hey! what the..." gesture that they all seem to make when being cut off by another car. Good stuff.
