Visitors

As our year in Nairobi comes to an end, we are reflecting on our time so far...... Our 3 bedroom home is perfectly suited for guests and during this first year in Nairobi we have been blessed to have several visitors stay with us. It is so much fun to introduce them to a new country and a new culture and for us to hear stories from “home”. They have also brought us a few special treats from home – like real marshmallows!!Ashton Pettigrew from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia was here very briefly as part of her travels with the Kenya Volunteer Development Agency.Steve and Karen Horton from Salmon Arm, British Columbia stayed with us for a week on a visit to see their first grandchild, Amaya, who lives across the street from us on campus. Their son, Chris, and his wife, Sherene, teach in the High School. The Hortons are real games people so the boys enjoyed some intense games of Skip-Bo.
Nick Horton from London, England also came to visit his brand new niece. Amaya. He has a culinary gift and shared this with us! We are planning to spend some time with Nick when we visit London next week.
Doug Thacker from New Mexico spent a week with us in December while visiting his friend Jessie Gac (a teacher in the Middle School). He and the boys really hit it off!Craig Danielson from Saint Catherine’s, Ontario was the speaker for Spiritual Emphasis Week in September 2008 and stayed a week with us.

What a year of blessings!
