Africa

Well... Ryan and I are officially off to Kenya may 10th -18th. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and prayed us through these past few weeks. It's been a bit of a scramble to get things in order but it's all coming together.

We continue to hear questions that closely resemble, 'what are you guys going to do on a medical mission trip?' (Referring to our lack of medical background.) Basically we have no concrete expectations. We are going to help... and you don't need to be a doctor to help. We are staying in a convent and working only in Nairobi. We have very limited information on what this trip will look like, and I think I prefer it that way. Who doesn't like surprises? Truth is, we are the first team going back with MTW since a lot of unrest has occurred, so the set up will be quite different.

It's a scary thing though. All the anticipation, the hesitance, the nagging thoughts... 'Is this going to kill me?' - 'Is this really going to make a difference in the long run?' - 'I guess it'll make me stronger...' (You all know I'm talking about the shots, right? ) I mean really... 6 shots in one day? I know, I know, there are worse things.

Anyhow, we could really use some persistent prayer. This experience is more than likely going to break us in half... the hard way... but the good way. And we can't wait.

God Bless
