We finished our language course in Kijabe on Tuesday so we were finally able to go into Nairobi to shop for necessary household items and to go to Java House to eat. Java House is perhaps the most "western" restaurant in all of Nairobi. They serve Cheese Burgers and Chips (French Fries) and Heinz ketchup. The kids have been looking forward to this day since early July when they heard about it at ABO from a former MK who is now going to be teaching at RVA. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and left with very full bellies!
On this trip into town we were able to order some furniture (beds, dining table, etc.) for our house that we should move into at the end of August. It was an interesting experience and we enjoyed working with the local people. They have shops all down one side of a particular highway in Nairobi. There were many people milling around as well as goats. The people here take great pride in their handiwork and seem to be happy to meet and talk to complete strangers. It is not uncommon to develope a lasting friendship with someone you do business with.

Dear Janders! It is so good to see you settled in your new home. Lauren and I have been praying for you regularly. We think of you when we use our kitchen knives! Feel free to check out our family blog too: http://breadforus.net
