UGH

Yesterday William and I arrived in Nairobi. We are here to hopefully pick up my visa and MAYBE try to get him a rushed passport. It normally takes at least a month. But we know someone who knows someone, so we will see....

We had car issues and almost didn't make it to the airport on time. We still had to pay for our tickets. And we walked in the door just 20 minutes before the flight was scheduled to leave. Thankfully the flight was delayed by about 40 minutes so we were ok.

But let me explain the reason for titling this post ugh. After we arrived I got online to check my e-mail. I was looking for somewhere in the room to plug in the computer. Then we realized that only half of my adapter is here. Somehow the piece that actually plugs into the wall got left at home.

I was so frustrated. While in Nairobi we have a great high speed internet connection and I'm always able to get a ton more done here than at home. I had planned to get photos uploaded, do some more malaria searches etc. So I was pretty frustrated. William has high hopes that somewhere we can find the plug at a store and be back in business. I'm not so sure. So if you don't hear from me the rest of the week you will know why.

In the meantime please pray for success in the many official offices we will be visiting. Hugs to all from Kenya!
