Home again

After a 30-hour process that began with a matatu ride to the Mombasa airport and ended with an bittersweet walk through customs at Minneapolis-St. Paul International, we finally returned to Minnesota shortly before noon today. It's nine hours later, and jetlag is putting up a strong fight. The hardwood floors and big cars look strange. The queen-size mattress is looking mighty comfortable.

There are many, many more stories to share beyond the details that made the posts on this blog throughout our trip, so we're eager to do that. We'll try to add some pictures here in the coming days if people continue to check in.

So sorry we weren't able to update this more often, especially during our final week in Tarasaa, but thanks for taking the time to read, think and pray about our trip. There are a lot of exciting developments unfolding in and around the village we called home for nearly three amazing weeks. We left a big piece of our hearts there with the Kenyan people, and perhaps someday -- God willing -- we'll have a chance to go back and get it.
