There is a new family in our neighborhood that we have befriended. They live in the house next to our previous house, which is very close to our current home. George and Eli met Daniela and her son, Flynn, while they were outside our house going for a walk. He invited them in to meet me. Since then, we have kept in touch and gotten together a few times. Daniela and her husband, Chris, are from Switzerland and moved to Moshi a couple months ago. Flynn is 11 months old and really cute. He is a happy baby who just started walking. Eli loves him and often asks for "Baby Flynn."
Last Saturday, they came to our house for dinner. We made a Mexican themed meal: chicken soft tacos, beans, guacamole, salsa, homemade tortilla chips and flan. It was delicious (if I do say so myself!). Eli loved having Flynn over and was really hyper and over-excited the whole time. It was an early evening for both since the kids got tired around the same time (6:45). Next time, we get to have European food at their place. Then it's back to our house for a Kenyan meal. Fortunately, they love ugali!
Thursday Eli and I went over to their house to play since it was a holiday and Daniela had the day off. Eli loved playing with Flynn's toys (and Flynn too!). Later we saw them at the grocery store and gave them a ride him. George and Chris have enjoyed hanging out a few times as well.
It has been great making new friends, especially ones who live so close. Moshi is a funny, little town. You never know who you will meet.

Oh, Stacie...maybe this is God's answer to your sadness....a new friend to walk with you through the joys and trials of life! I can't wait to hear how God will use you all in each others lives. I don't think your post said exactly why they moved to Moshi?
