Monday, Feb 7th

I'm on Kenyan time now - finally! I have not been wearing a watch for 2 weeks and it still feels weird not to always know the time, but I'm getting use to it. Last night, I didn't sleep well - a text woke me up at 2 am. It was from Wendy, the trip coordinator at Ada Bible. She asked me to text her ASAP. Well, it was Sunday evening at 6pm in Michigan (8 hours behind us). A long story, but in summary, somehow, my airline ticket and Phil's (another team member that came to Kenya), our tickets got transposed. He flew home on part of my ticket??? WHAT??? How does that happen? I had been in a deep sleep up to this point up to this point and suddenly, I was wide awake. My other problem was that my phone battery was almost dead and, as you remember, there is not electrical power during the night. So, about 6-8 text messages later, Wendy was going to try to sort it out the next day.
To finish this drama, tonight, I received a text that it was sorted out (Delta had made an error) and my flight was still all set. Thank you God.

The day was a full safari day and then a Maasi Village tour. The safari was awesome. I can't put into words how incredible it is! We didn't see any rhino or leopards, which we are told are the hardest to see. Tomorrow, we'll head to Nakura park and hopefully see both there.

We saw so many animals - 2 cheetah feeding, a baby elephant taking a bath, so many giraffe - it was so neat to see their heads poking out over the top of trees.

This monkey and many others kept trying to steal food from our lunch. This one managed to jump in one of the vans (through the roof and get a chocolate bar someone had in their bag!)
