Getting up this morning at 5:30 AM was challenging after being out so late at the Carnivore the night before. We had to load up and head to the Nairobi National Park for our "Safari." The animals are the most active in the early hours of the morning.
We were out in the park for almost 5 hours limping along in the vans over roads that should not be called roads. We were tossed about in the vans like weeble wobbles...and no one fell down!
A few of us would have preferred to be at home in bed as we got hit pretty hard with another round of the wonderful flu bug that we have all been sharing since the 3rd day we were here. It definitely was not the place to be when feeling nauseous.
We were very fortunate to see just about all the animals you can see in the park. We had a great time.
Following the safari, we headed to Beacon to say our final goodbyes. I can't really expound on this experience as I was back at Kijiji lying prone in bed with the flu. I do know that everyone enjoyed their time there and are very thankful for all that God did in our lives through the work of Beacon of Hope.

Called to be a Beacon of Hope
As Christ Followers - God calls us to go out into the world and be a light - a "Beacon of Hope." Seventeen of Blackhawk Church members are about to embark on a journey that will change lives forever. While we think we'll be changing the lives of those less fortunate than us - I think we are the ones who will be profoundly changed as we witness the deep connection to God the people of Kenya have.
