Visa Interview

We had our visa interview at the US Embassy this morning. It went smoothly and the guy was really helpful. He said they will try to expedite our deal so we can make our plane friday night, but the background check for the Adam Walsch deal is not dependent on them but on the Immigration dept in the states. He thinks there is a less than 50% chance of it getting done by Friday. He compasionately asked us to plan on Monday or Tuesday, but said they'd do the best they could. We are cautiously optimistic, however, because we know what he doesn't - all of you are praying!! Thanks for continuing to lift us up.

Here are some pics from last night. We had dinner at our friends' Sammy and Celestine's house and they made us a traditional Kenyan meal, or I guess they say THE traditional Kenyan meal. It's called "ugali". Sammy says Kenyan men say, "You don't have food" if you don't serve ugali. Ugali is a dense bready-like cake made of corn flour and water and cooked on the stove top. You break off pieces and dip it in stew and veggies. We had a beef stew and a spinach dish do dip it in. It was delicious.



We were pretty exhausted after our big day yesterday. We think Zeke is feeling pretty comfortable with us! (see below)


Update on his health: he's adjusting well to the new formula. Unfortunately he eats way more than your average 6 month old so we're running out of the formula we brought and will have to buy some here. So that means another transition. Pray it's not major! His congestion seems better but is still very present. He coughed a bunch last night and kept us all up for quite a while. We're happy to be done with our end of the business stuff to we can go home and rest this afternoon. By the way, if you're ever in Nairobi, check out the Savanna Coffee Lounge across the street from the US Embassy. It's on UN grounds and is above the workout club where all the UN staff workout. It is so pleasant here, great food and coffee and tea for very reasonable prices and best of all- high speed internet!!! I mean like the same speed as home! It's a wonderful thing. Love you all!
