In a few hours I will leave for the airport. I still can't believe that in two days I'll be in Africa -- a continent I never thought I would ever step foot on!
On the loooong flights over I will be crash-coursing in Swahili (I do not know enough words as I should), reading, praying, sleeping, and such, and I'm hoping the in-flight movies will be good too. Please pray that we all have safe flights and layovers. From here (Boston) our first stop is Amsterdam -- which we have a long layover at! -- and then to Nairobi, Kenya, and finally Mwanza, Tanzania. Our mission is to serve, educate, and fellowship amongst the
orphans of Christ's Hope International's Mabatini Carepoint and on the compound where we will be staying.
Some days I feel ready and other days I feel lost. Why God called me to this trip is beyond me; but today is the day, I'm all packed, I've started taking Malaria pills, and am fully funded.
p.s. don't be alarmed if you don't hear from me for a while. Power outages are a part of near-everyday life (the power may be out when we get there, it may be off the whole time, who knows). But I will blog and update whenever possible.
