Crums

I posted a picture of Dan and Connie Crum's family today. We will be staying at Dan, Connie and Rachel's house in Nairobi. Josiah, who is a student at Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, CA, will also be there. We are all sorry that Sarah and her husband, Chris will not be there for Christmas! They also live in LA. Dan and Connie and their family have been missionaries in Kenya for over 20 years with Christian Missionary Fellowship. We have known them since our Ball State University days. They lived in North Manchester during their furlough from June 2006-June 2007. We LOVED having them a mile away from our house for that time! The Crums and McLaughlin's lived life together in Indiana- celebrated holidays, birthdays and Sarah & Chris' wedding, watched the Colts win the Super Bowl, took walks, drank coffee, got snowed in, etc. - so now we are excited about living life with them in their home in Kenya!

Picture

Thank you to our nephew, Zach Bagley, for the beautiful picture of the giraffes. Zach visited Kenya in the fall of 2006.

Getting Ready

We are getting excited about our trip to Kenya! We have all gotten the required shots (Yellow Fever and Hepatitis A) so we are all set in that area. I talked to Sandy Oler, whose family visited Dan, Connie and Rachel Crum in June 2008. She gave me lots of good advice about various parts of the trip we will take, which is similar to their trip. We will be spending alittle more than 24 hours in London, England on the way there, as a long lay-over. Sandy suggested some good ideas for traveling around London when we will be very tired from the new time zone. Kyle and Claire are getting very excited about the trip since we have been talking about it for months now! More to come later...
