Lord willing, in just a very few hours, this chapter in our mission to Kenya, Africa, will come to an end.

Two days ago, we were standing on African soil at the JESUS. Hobbs’ House of Hope preparing to leave that amazing place.

Yesterday, we arrived in London and took advantage of our long lay over by visiting Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Tower of London. We feel so blessed to have been able to take a moment toward the end of our journey to experience a taste of the rich history that exists in this country.

This afternoon, we board our flights back to the USA and to our families, loved ones and friends.

Each of us have been challenged and changed by what we’ve experienced. We want to express our gratitude and appreciation to everyone for your prayer covering during our trip - it has been a great source of encouragement to know that you are standing with us in prayer. What the Lord has done and is doing in Africa is amazing! Please continue to pray for Kenya!

Although we are ready to come back to the United States, we are quite aware that we are leaving a portion of our heart in Africa - and are bringing a portion of Africa with us as well.

We look forward to telling you our stories very soon.

We have checked out of the YMCA Nairobi and are about to take our evening meal at The Java House before heading to the airport. London is our next stop and then San Antonio on Sunday evening!

The past two days have been amazing! God is moving in Kenya, Africa, and we have been so blessed to be participants in what He is doing in this place.

Yesterday, we had several hundred children come to the Basketball Camp and afterward we walked the cross through the neighborhood behind the gym/church. Time will not allow for a full report right now but suffice it to say - it was AWESOME!

This morning, we went back out the House of Hope. Much progress is being made on the facilities. Having a brand new generator is a huge blessing! (Pictures from this morning will be posted later - sorry!)

Although we love Africa, we are ready to head for home - especially those of us who've been here for two weeks now. We miss all of you and can't wait to tell you of our experiences.

So again, after eating at The Java House in a moment, it's off to London!
