We have finally arrived in Maua, Kenya after traveling 20 some hours by air and being transported by vans from Naibori all day today.  In spite of the minor inconveniences to be expected in this part of the world, our team is in good spirits and ready to be further engaged with our Kenyan brothers and sisters.

     Staff at the Maua Basin Hotel greeted us with smiles and handshakes.  Then they helped us unload the numerous bags and find out rooms.  They prepared dinner for us and we were very impressed with the candles on the table and the delicious meal.

     Stanley Gitari, the Maua Methodist Hospital leader, and his coworkers Doris and Janet, met us for dinner and gave us an overview of the projects we are working on this week in Maua.  Tomorrow morning Stanley will meet us and walk with us down the street to the Methodist Church for Sunday School and the main service in Swahili  He assures us that there will some English in the service so it should be interesting.
