My birthday this year was very different, to say the least. First off, while I’ve traveled quite a bit before this year, I have never spent my birthday outside the United States. I was so excited when we found out our World Race itinerary because I immediately knew that my 23rd birthday would be somewhere in Africa. Our original route would have meant a South Africa birthday but after prayer and a lot of consideration, our squad landed in Kenya for the month of May! I was so blessed this year to have spent it at Deliverance Church Langata with my amazing team mates, Pastor Kioko and Pastor Collins. Here is a photo blog of the birthday activities we did on the 16th. It definitely was a day I will remember forever! ENJOY:
My birthday started with my team mates and I going to the Sheldrick’s Baby Elephant Orphanage where there are 14 baby elephants that have been rescued… SO CUTE!
In the afternoon, Angela and I went to the Nairobi National Park Giraffe Center where you can feed, pet and kiss eight giraffes of different ages! There was one adult male giraffe, 6 adult female giraffes and one baby giraffe named HELLEN!!
I ended my birthday with an evening at a fantastic Brazilian restaurant, Fogo Gaucho, in the city where it’s all the meat you can eat (including CROCODILE meat) and it’s all served off of giant swords! So much fun!!
Thank you, everyone for the birthday LOVE this past week! I had such a special day with my six spouses: Angela, Paul, Nikki, Haile, Mac and Alana and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect AFRICAN day! Love you all!
