Africa

A few weeks ago, our good friend Mike presented us with an opportunity to go to Kenya with a team he's involved with for a medical mission trip. We just about immediately put it on the back burner (not completely out of our minds, just in the back somewhere). There was no sense in hoping- we had so many obligations/ commitments that we'd already made for the year and getting time off of work was already really tight. But then, last week we were watching a video of the National Prayer breakfast... a man named Ward Brehm spoke on his spiritual journey in Africa. His words of experience paired with our dads- oh so familiar words- "What are you waiting for?" made us suddenly inspired to pursue this trip.

This trip is taking place from May 10th- 18th. It's coming up fast! We are still working out technicalities... so we are not 100% sure this trip is on, but things are looking positive. Ryan is pretty much set, we just need to raise a bit of support and book his tickets and he's on his way. As for me, my situation is a bit complicated. My passport is in my maiden name, which could be a problem because all of my legal documents have been changed to ' Bergman'. I just don't want to be stuck in Kenya. So, to all of you that read about our lives, we would really love for this opportunity to work out that we can both go, your prayers that what should be done, will be done are very much appreciated.

Here's to Hoping!
