Ready, Set, Go

Well, I'm all packed and ready to go. It took some work but we got it done. I'm bringing two bags, one is full of clothing (the big one on the left) that I'll be leaving there, as well as a bunch of craft supplies. That one took some work to get down to the acceptable weight, but we did it, I may or may not have some baby clothing in my personal bag, but whatever works right?

I head out tomorrow morning to catch my flight from Toronto at 2:00PM. I'll be flying from Toronto to Newark, Newark to Amsterdam and then Amsterdam to Nairobi. I'm flying alone so your prayers would be much appreciated - that I'm able to make all my connections and stuff. Once I arrive in Nairobi I'll be getting my visa and clearing customs alone as well, but then I will be meeting up with James. Holly tells me he will have a "Laura sign" and Alaina tells me I won't be able to miss him because he will be the one with the biggest smile. I've seen pictures of James so it should be easy enough to find him. Then we will wait for Holly and Ashley, I arrive at 7:00PM (local time - that's 1:00PM here) and they arrive at 9:00PM. We will be spending the night in Nairobi then heading out for Kisumu the next day.

Please keep us in your prayers throughout the next few weeks, for safety, for a spirit of boldness, that we would be able to adjust to a new time and climat, that we would be accepted by the villagers, that God will speak through us and use us, and that we would be open to whatever He has in store for us. It's going to be an amazing trip and I can't wait to share stories with you all. While I'm in Kenya when I have internet access I will be trying to email one of my good friends from Windsor, Candace, and she will be updating my blog.

Well, I guess that's all from me for now, I need to get to bed and get some rest night before a long travel time. Thanks for your prayers!
