Grrace in Nairobi...still
Hello! It's Friday afternoon and I was supposed to get to Kinshasa Thursday am. Well, I missed my flight and the next one doesn't go til Saturday, so I am staying at the Mairori's home. It has been nice to be here, but I am anxious to get to Steve in Kinshasa. Steve was given a Congolese name last Saturday when ICM men met with him and prayed for him. His new name is ESENGO and it means "man of joy." Seems appropriate.
I took my first 'matatu' ride to the store today with Roslyn. It was a great experience. Kiki is in Tanzania by now, probably in a refugee camp. So, please pray for her and her friend Katie. I am sure they are seeing things they have never seen and there will be hardships to witness beyond words for them.
I read in Proverbs 16 yesterday before leaving for the airport that we make plans in our hearts, but it is the Lord who directs our steps. Those words were (and are) very applicable today.
Hopefully, the next time we write, it will be from Kinshasa. Steve has had trouble logging onto this, but we hope to figure it out. Thanks for reading this and for your prayers. gc

We have been consistently praying for you, for Steve, and that soon you will be reunited. We pray also that the Lord has been able to show Himself to you through these trying times. This too shall pass and He will show you the blessing that He has for the two of you through this all.
Praying for you, with love,
Lita
Your life is certainly more interesting than mine!

Hey guys:
Hope you're doing well! We're enjoying reading your blog. Grace, we got your journal today and enjoyed reading that. We pray for you often.
Last Sunday, we had a great lunch. Our family and the Carlsons hosted two very special people - Misty (Lucy's birthmom) and Holly (the birthmom of our new baby). It was very cool and extremely special! Take care...love the Prestons
