BUSY WEEK

This has really been a busy week. We have discovered that much of the life of a logistic coordinator is spent on the road. Jeff spent the first part of the week working on getting internet service to the office where the media consultants will be working since they were due to arrive this week. He also made a presentation for improving the internet service for all the Baptist facilities here in Nairobi. Everyone was in favor of it. It will be implemented in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully we will be able to post more pictures more often in the near future.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, we spent time with our Regional Logistics Coordinator as he gave us an orientation and his expectations from us. He is a very nice gentleman and will be great to work under. Jeff is still researching how to keep the network running and Jan is struggling through making travel arrangements for everyone. She will not receive official training in booking reservation until after we return from our trip to Zambia.

On Saturday we spent the day with Barry and Marleen Robinson. We visited the Giraffe Center and the Elephant Orphanage. The giraffes were very friendly and Jeff and Barry were brave enough to let them take a piece of food from their mouths! Check out the long tongue. The baby elephants were so cute and we learned a lot about their personalities.This picture is out of focus but you can see how long a gariffe's tongue is.

We also welcomed two new members to our team this week. They are two young ladies from the media department who will be working out of Nairobi. One is a photographer and the other a journalist. Today after church, we took them out for their first adventure at driving on the left side of the road from the right side of the car. We took a trip out into the Rift Valley and saw some beautiful country side while they practiced their driving.
