Our last day in Nairobi was sad to say the least. It was finally our turn to say goodbye to those we had come to love and admire.
We were supposed to spend the day with Aaron and Erica but the flu bug hit the Kenny Family starting with Tristan, then Emma and then Aaron today. So we still had a wonderful day with Erica but were unable to give those goodbye hugs to Aaron, Tristan, Emma and Ava.
They are coming home to Canada in the spring and their first stop is Toronto so we are looking forward to seeing them then!
We spent the morning with Erica doing our "debriefing" and then we went out to lunch! It was very hard saying goodbye to Erica.
It was also very difficult to say goodbye to the staff at Heart Lodge. We have grown to appreciate them as a staff and they sure made our "home away from home" a wonderful place to stay.
Another change in plans was that we took a taxi to the airport. Arrived in plenty of time for our flight! We are excited to be going home.
Please remember to pray for Erica. She has an extremely busy week. She has been involved with the school Christmas Pageant. There are two dress rehearsals this week and the performance is on Thursday night. Believe it or not, yesterday we were actually hoping that she would get the flu at any moment in order to be recovered by Thursday!

Hey Don & Joy,
I am sorry that I was not able to recieve those good-bye hugs and say farewell to you both in person, but I am glad that I didn't pass my stomach flu on to either of you. I'm feeling much better today and was even able to get some varnishing done on some of Erica's Christmas presents.
Erica seems flu free...so far so good. We are praying that the bug stopped with me!
Thank you both so much for all the love and encouragement that you showered our family with and for the deep relationships you build with Jackson, the teachers, students and so many of the women of Iftin. You will truly be missed!
We hope that this is only the end of the beginning for a long and wonderful journey that is yet to come! We know that your heart for Eastleigh and the vulnerable people there is a work of God's Spirit and we look forward to serving shoulder to shoulder with you again.
Safe journey! And we will look forward to seeing you this Spring!
Love,
Aaron
