Frank arrives in Nairobi

We received a call from Frank this morning. He has arrived in Nairobi and was standing in line for dinner with about 5,000 others. I wonder if they were serving turkey??!! He is 9 hours ahead of our time. Keep the prayers coming!!!

Check out the Taize website for lots of cool pictures and articles about the pilgrimage!

Got some bad news this morning. Leanne, after consulting with family and friends, and a discernment process that St. Francis or St. Ignatius would be proud of, decided she would defer her trip to Bomu to another time. Duffy picked up my visa this afternoon at the Kenyan Embassy (sacrificing her day to accommodate my last minuteness) so I am ready to make the trip. Now I just need to pack!

Frank's Journal 11/23/08

Leanne and I met this evening, with Duffy as our guide, to get last minute details ironed out. Our friends in Bomu are emailing us to assure us that we will be met at the airport. I hope to be able to communicate regularly while there, which is going to depend on our internet access.

God is great and I can't wait until Tuesday!!
