Back Safely!

Hi Everybody!

Just thought I'd let ya know that Rachel Schulte and I made our 2 day trek back to Kitale safe & soundly. We flew out of Portland, Oregon at 8 am Tuesday, to Chicago, to Brussels, to Nairobi. We took a taxi from the airport to a hotel in downtown Nairobi to get a little rest before our trip to Kitale the next day. On Thursday morning (Wednesday night, your time) we took a taxi to the bus station and we were able to get tickets to Kitale that morning (I was a little nervous we wouldn't be able to, but we got some of the last seats available!) After almost 9 hours, we arrived in Kitale! Greg picked us up at the bus station, and it was good to be "home". A lot has happened since I've been gone... so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Kelly is in Mombassa (on the coast of Kenya) right now helping with a building project for another missionary. Greg & Carrie are doing well & healthy. Rachel and I are out in town today and we will begin outlining her trip here today and tomorrow to make sure we can get all of our goals achieved for her visit. I have a lot more to write about, but will save it for the next few days. Just wanted to put wondering minds at rest! :)

Much Love & Blessings,
Alita

PS- It was SO GREAT to see those of you who I got to see over the last 3 weeks. You are still just as much of a blessing to me as you've ever been--I miss you already!!
