So apparently there is only one more month - 30 days - until I leave for Kenya. Which seems surreal to me because the last time I posted there were 55 days to go, so that was 25 days ago but it feels like yesterday. Does that mean 30 days from now should feel like tomorrow? Hmmm...
It's crazy how fast time goes when you're busy, it seems like lately I'm either working, sleeping or planning for Kenya. All of which are good, I suppose.
I love how different people react to my going to Kenya, everyone is SO excited for me, which makes me more excited, which makes others excited, and so and so on. I also love the concern people have for me, I don't know how many times people have told me not to take Larium. One of the girls told me that I better come back or she would come to Kenya looking for me. Hehe. I love it.
I'm nearing the final stages of planning and organizing things for Kenya. I believe I have most of the logistics figured out, so that is definitely a praise. I found out this week that at the end of our trip we will be going on a safari as a team debrief. I am beyond excited! We will be spending two nights in the Masai Mara, and then spending a day in Nairobi before splitting up and flying back to our homes. I feel like it's going to be a very bittersweet experience.
I also found out from Holly this week that her and Ashley held two fundraisers and were able to raise $2000 for projects in the village! Praise God! We are also working on getting a projector so that we can show the Jesus film in Luo (the tribal language of the villagers) and also do some HIV/AIDS awareness. This is all SO fantastic! Once again - PRAISE GOD! I'm really excited to see all that is going to happen in the village!
If you could continue to keep me and the rest of the team in your prayers we would all really appreciate it. Pray that we are able to get the rest of the logistics figured out, pray that we are all able to 100% financially supported, pray that God would show us what He wants us to do in the village, pray for protection, pray for wisdom as we are travelling abroad, pray that we would be well received, and pray that is trip would be all about God and not us.
Thank you all SO much for your support!
