We are staying at the Mayfield Guest House in Nairobi. It's a missionary guest house where many missionaries spend a few days as they are traveling through Nairobi. When we arrived we met a new friend named Anna. She is a nurse in southern Sudan. She happens to be the only white person for miles and miles. Her life is pretty intense. We enjoyed sharing stories about life as a rural medical provider. Her village is very blessed to have her.

In the course of our conversation we mentioned how we forgot our computer charger at home. We told her how we unsuccessfully spent a few hours driving around to computer stores yesterday to see if we could find a new cord. It turns out that she has a Sony laptop as well. She is loaning us her cord so we can get the battery charged up. Yeah! Back online!

Yesterday we met with a lady in the immigration department. She told us that I should have my visa by tonight. We left my passport with her so that all the appropriate stamps could be stamped. So hopefully I'll have good news about my visa to share soon.

Then we waited in lines for three hours to apply for a passport for William. We were waiting in line together until some official realized that I wasn't an applicant. Then I got kicked out of the room. For the next hour I kept being told "You can't wait here! Move!" Finally the application process was completed. We are told that it will take a month. Then we will have to come back to Nairobi to pick up the passport and apply for the American visa. This is William's third time trying to apply. Pray that the third time is the charm!
