just listing my thoughts because i don’t have much time here at the internet place . . .
  • african time makes asian time look like punctuality.
  • we were in kijabe about an hour or two outside nairobi, by mt. kenya and the rift valley.  it is utterly gorgeous.  it’s quite a sight to behold the landscape, the massive clouds against a bright blue sky casting shadows on the mountains and valley.  lillies and lavender and other flowers just flourish on the side of the road. 
  • far more beautiful than the nature are the people.  so warm and friendly.
  • i have officially left asia, as i pass by greetings of “hello.  chinese?  japanese?”
  • thanks for the leftover malarone y’all – no side effects so far.  🙂
  • these next few months in africa is about faith for me; for faith in Christ – who He is, what He’s done – to be fortified, but more so that faith in who i am in Christ and what i can do through Him.  to be who He is:  a child of God.  to do what He did:  teach, preach, and heal.
  • help us celebrate Christmas – go to johnlinkous.theworldrace.org for more details.
  • go to my teammates’ bev and brenda’s blogs (see the sidebar) to help them finish the race!
  • we’re gonna be in lodwar after all.  google “lodwar” and “turkana”.  next time i blog, i’ll share what my new tribal name will be for the month.  pray that we don’t fry in the heat, too.
asante suna!  and bona safiwe!  🙂
(thank you so much and God bless you!)
