Day 6: A Day of Rest

 Today is Sunday and we were able to take a step back and rest a bit.  We started the day off with church at Nairobi Chapel.  This was quite the experience!  Their church is held under a large tent which is located in the center of a large campus.  The staff at Nairobi Chapel welcomed us at their welcome tent with hot drinks (tea, coffee, or hot chocolate--it was chilly in the morning!) and shared a bit about how they run.  We were impressed with all their programs, their campus, and all the talent that was shown during the service.  God is doing great things through this church and we were blessed to get to worship with them this morning.

After church, we ate lunch at a restaurant called Tamambo Gardens.  There was a beautiful outdoor eating area in which we had our delicious lunch.


After lunch, we visited the Karen Blixen museum.  We enjoyed listening to our tour guide and touring Karen Blixen's famous house and grounds.

We were not allowed to take photos inside the Blixen home, so we have no pictures to post of that, BUT look at this cute little guy!  Our tour guide pointed him and a whole host of others that were climbing up and around the trees.  They are called Tree Hyraxes!  This cute little Hyrax was so close we could have touched him if we dared.  ;)

We go to bed tonight feeling blessed to be in Kenya!  God is good and we look forward to all He will do in this next week. Tomorrow we head back to work at Amani and meet with the women once again.  Thank you again for your prayers and support!
