Our flight arrived on time and it took 3 buses to ferry all of us to the cargo terminal, since the new International terminal isn't finished. Going through Immigration wasn't too bad, but I was the last one through since I had been in the tail of the plane. Customs was another story. We were there for what seemed like an eternity as the Salem team dickered with the agent in charge who has given us a really hard each of the last 3 trips. She's relatively new and is a stickler. She insisted that we had told her we would have 3 footlockers when we had about 20. We finally got through, only to find out Merrilee had not made it. The airline would give no info to our people. Our friend Catherine's phone number is in our team member packets and she got no word either. Pastor Kevin stayed at the airport with Catherine while the rest of us and our luggage went to the Little Daughters of St. Joseph. Pastor Kevin called Ron and he had not heard from Merrilee either.
Kevin and Catherine finally got to our lodgings at 1 am with no word on Merrilee. During breakfast this morning, our team phone went off with the good news that Merrilee is in Nairobi. Our drive for the safari this morning is picking her up and we'll see if she's in any shape to join us. Kevin called Ron to give him the good news.
We will be going to Lake Naivasha to see the hippos and other animals and birds. I'll report on it as soon as I can. Lord, thanks for bringing Merrilee safely to us. Bless all that we do while we're here answering your call on our lives. Amen.
