This will be my last post from home before I come back. I still have the cold, but thankfully it is not as bad as colds usually are for me. I just pray that it doesn't get worse with the sleeping/not sleeping on the airplane that will be my next 24 hours.
God is so good. One of the big things I was worried about for this trip was traveling to Nairobi by myself. Once you step outside of the glass doors of the airport all protection from security is gone and it can be sort of a mob scene as people grab for your bags trying to be "helpful" as porters looking for some extra cash. If there is any delay in the driver picking us up that would be quite the thing to deal with on my own. Thankfully, there are two other guys that will be traveling with me. They are here at orientation and will be spending the next month at Kijabe (the big mission hospital just outside of Nairobi). Orientation has been so great that I wish we were all going to be at the same place for the month, but I am really comforted by the fact that I will have two others to help walk through the airport issues as they arrise. Thank you Lord.
Once I get to Nairobi I will be staying for a few days at the Mayfield guest house and then traveling north to Kapsowar. Let the adventure continue!
Prayer requests -
1 That we might all be able to get through security without any glitches
2 That this cold would go away
3 That God would continue to prepare our hearts for what lay ahead
4 That all of our baggage makes it to our final destination with us
Thank you for so faithfully praying. I am comforted knowing that I am going out with a team of warriors supporting me from home. Talk to you from Kenya!
