As we head into the end of October and we can see November just around the corner, Kenya is only a couple months ahead of us. Current life is rounding up with midterms just about finished and now we are preparing for the finals. Getting ready to pack up for school and getting ready to say goodbyes to friends. Also with my concussion, dealing with neurologists, sport therapists and the school and government and living through each day. Sometimes with it all its hard to think that in a couple of months we are going to Kenya. I am very excited for this opportunity. God has been teaching me alot lately and i look forward to seeing what He has in store!

Your excitement for this trip inspite of all that is going on in your life is so encouraging. I also finished midterms and now am looking to finals in December. I understand how demanding school can be. It also sounds like you have more that just school and Kenya preparations on your plate. Stay encouraged. We will make it to Kenya and it will be the experience of a lifetime 🙂

yeah, kenya is soo soon! it’s almost unbelievable. and there’s still so much to do, so much to prepare. on top of that, it’s the holiday season! which is also slightly exciting. kenya of course is SOO much more exciting =]
i’m with you on being changed. i really want to come back a different person. maybe not in everything, but certain aspects. like certain perspectives, goals, attitudes. and i definitely expect to be stretched beyond my limits. i don’t know why, but right now, i’m actually looking forward to that. it will most likely be painful and hard, but it won’t ever be more than we can handle!
thank you for your prayers, dear! i’m always praying for you and your health! stay completely blessed!
“I expect to feel comfortable in Africa and focused in the ministry we are doing.” -you’re ready for this, girl! May you be blessed in your excitement and hunger for God and His will in your life. You’re a blessing to us!
