Kwaheri ya kuonana.

Translation:
Hello, how are you? We are fine. We have been studying Swahili for three weeks. We love to eat Kenya food. We want you to come to Kenya. No Problem.
Good bye until we meet again.

For the past three weeks we have been attending Kiswahili classes at the Anglican Church of Kenya Language School in downtown Nairobi. We attend class from 9:00 AM until 3:30PM. We have four different instructors who have been working hard to help us. The classes are tough, especially for those of us who haven’t attended any schooling in so many years, but the traffic getting to class in the mornings has been the major stressor. The morning commute takes us around one and a half hours and it is only about 10 miles. It is just simply bumper to bumper the whole way. The road we live on is the busiest road around. It takes us one full hour to go the first three and half miles from our house! Needless to say, this has been “driving” Jeff crazy and not been good for either of our nerves. Friday we were able to convince the school to send one of the instructors to our office to teach us. We are so excited about this. We will take next week off while they make the arrangements and start back with classes on February 2. Thanks to so many of you for your prayers in this area. Please continue to pray for us to learn enough of the language to be able to communicate. God can and does still work miracles.

As for those of you who have been asking how Molly is adjusting to Kenya, we think this picture says it all.
