Weeeeeee’re Baaaaack!
We were sad to leave our new friends in Kenya. The travel back seemed to go by quickly, even though it was still over 30 hours total travel time, but it probably was due to the fact that we were both pooped. (yes brother mike, you did mention something about that….). Over all, it was quite an adventure. And a learning experience. We live in the greatest country on earth, with the most opportunity, and filled with loving, generous, caring people. All too often we might lose sight of just how blessed we are to live here, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are truly blessed to live here. It was rare, in fact I really can’t remember one time, when we asked the many friends we made in Nyeri where they would like to travel and possibly live….that anyone ever said anywhere but America. And for good reason.
Anyway, enough of the flag waving. Just glad to be home again. Will we go back? Maybe. Possibly. Probably. But for now, it sure is nice to drink the water from the tap. And flush a toilet.
We promised not to forget the many wonderful people we met in Africa. We won’t. We plan to continue to try and share our blessings and abundance with those much less fortunate. In the last message we mentioned some areas of need. During this time of Thanksgiving and the Christmas season, should any of you wish to also share, we would definitely like to help you accomplish just that.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Kevin & Tim,
I talked with Liz & Pat today and they gave me the Kearns Brother’s site. WOW! What an awesome experience the two of you must of had. It’s easy to close ones eyes and not see what the rest of the world looks like. Your pictures were great and your story even more special. God Bless you both. I enjoyed the hospital pictures and know that we sure have a lot to be thankful for. Too many things in our world we take for granted. The adventure to Lake Nekuru NP to see the wild life had to be awesome. Joan will enjoy seeing the elephant pictures, her favorite. She would free them from zoo’s if you gave her the chance. Now that hammer, it sounds like your family think you don’t know what to do with it? I know what you were thinking, popping the end of the bottle to enjoy that African Vintage. Welcome back to Amerika. Have a great Christmas with your family and we will be in touch.
Kevin and Tim,
After looking over everything from your webdsite and reading about your trip, I just wanted to say what an awesome thing you did for those people in Africa. I’m sure you’ve touched many lives as well as creating new friendships. I just got back last night from a trip to the Philippines and witnessed to those less fortunate. I took my son along and this year rather than us receiving gifts, we were the givers and it was such a great feeling to share what God has blessed us with to others. Hopefully one day, I too can experience an adventure to Africa. Have a wonder New Years and I am praying that your mom has a quick recovery. Awhhhhhhhhhh yes, isn’t it great to be back to real bathrooms and tap water.
Blessings to you,
Aurea
Welcome back…
