Day One Victories and Failures
Day one, victories and failures.
Victory, girls had first day of school, both happy as clams. New friends, lots of learning and playtime. Paid tuition, piece of cake.
Failure, no hot water for showers, not sure what we will do tomorrow. . .maybe get dressed and walk to guesthouse for showers? (Wait, it’s working! Arianna has the magic touch:).
Victory, Arianna’s shopping trip (thank you Erik and Amanda!!). We have a functional and downright awesome kitchen. Dove soap. Magnetic kitchenware hanging thingies (always wanted those).
Failure, plugged the kitchen-aid into the wrong outlet and killed it. . .first casualty of 220v power.
Victory, all of our bags made it to Kenya and we cleared customs/immigration in thirty minutes.
Failure, one bag went AWOL somewhere along the way, maybe in the airport or the back of a van?
Failure, internet setup, both wireless modems are ineffective
Victory, 3G working on phones now so we can communicate with email at least.
Big victory, iPhones unlocked and SIM cards cut and working.
Victory, found wonderful ice cream. Failure, it melted, can’t plug the fridge in until tomorrow (freon settling and whatnot)
Victory, good time with wonderful friends and mentors. We are following in great footsteps.
Victory, setting foot in town and feeling instantly at home. Absolutely no failure here:)

Victories Won! Praise God all are well and “home.”
It’s great to see your faces and hear about your arrival! The first days in a new place are a special time. I’m enjoying my new Shirk car. Keep posting!
Love,
