Chapter 10: We Found A House!!

We have had a huge answer to prayer!! We have found a house to live in. We (Krol's & Ficek's) are currently living in another missionary's house until they return in the next couple months. So we have been looking for the past couple weeks at places to live. Ideally, it would be nice to live in separate houses but on the same compound. After looking at quite a few places, we started to realize how difficult this perfect scenario might be. Oh, ye of little faith...well, just the other day we came across a compound with two houses for rent starting in September. We were a little concerned with how much the owner was asking for the two houses. We knew how much we could afford / offer and we knew how much the owner was asking...they were two very different prices. We met with the owner the other day and after talking with her we told her the highest we could go. The look on her face wasn't good. She told us she would call us later after she crunched some numbers. To be honest, I thought our chances were slim. But as we were getting into the vehicle and pulling out, she stop us and told us she would take our offer. The Lord is good! Thank you for your prayers!!

Chapter 9: Grocery Shopping in Kenya

Well, we have had a couple different opportunities to go grocery shopping here in Nairobi. We go to a place called Nakumatt, it would be comparable to Wal-Mart in the States. There are quite a few of them around the city. They have grocery items on the lower level and then all kinds of household goods on the second level. We can find a few items from the States here in Kenya. The only difference is the price!! We found spaghetti sauce to be very expensive here. For a can of Ragu or Classico it is about $4.00. I saw Snickers Ice Cream bars here, my favorite, they are close to $9.00 for a box of five. Needless to say, we won't be having too many Snicker Ice Cream bars. We are able to save on the fruits and vegetables though. We can get a weeks worth of fruits and vegetables for around $10. Thank you for your support!! Hope everyone is doing well.

Chapter 8: Arrived to Kenya!!

We arrived to Kenya!! We made it in safely on Monday night.
All of our luggage made it safely as well. Which was a blessing, we have heard stories where missionaries had waited up to 6 weeks for their luggage to arrive. Our first few nights we stayed at the Mayfield AIM (African Interior Ministries) guest house. Lots of other missionaries from all over Kenya stay there. Either to get away for a little while or to meet incoming missionaries.
We were able to go to West Nairobi School then on Tuesday and check it out. The picture is of Tera's classroom. We have spent the past few days working in our classrooms as well as unpacking our stuff at home. It has been a very busy few days!! Adjusting well to the time change. Thanks for all of your prayers, we feel them!!
