I can't believe it, but my time in Michigan is coming to an end and I'm leaving for Kenya tomorrow! This weekend has been really fun and a great last time with my Calvin friends (for a while, at least). Val and Mike's wedding was on Saturday and it was so beautiful! They are so cute and it was really great to see many good friends gathered together to celebrate. Yesterday night a bunch of us went out to the beach in Holland, which was really fun!
As the time of my departure approaches, I'm definitely getting excited, but I'm still a little nervous. I think it's a great opportunity that I get to go back to Kenya and see my friends there. I have traveled many places over the past few years, but this is the first time that I will return to somewhere I've been before (other than England). I think my past experiences in Kenya will help shape how I view Kenya now and I hope that this time I can learn even more about Kenya and how God is calling me to use my talents to help people in developing countries. I'm also very excited to stay with the same family that my mom stayed with when she visited Kenya in September. Renewing the friendships I created three years ago will be wonderful, and also continuing the relationships my mom built is exciting.
Thank you all for your prayers - I would not be able to embark on this adventure without all of your encouragement and support.
My next post will be from Kenya, woohoo!!! :)
