First, I would like to thank Jackie Phelan for setting up this blog to keep you posted on this incredible journey I am going to experience.
Here is the team who will be going to Kenya:
Dane and Trudy Ruck, Candice Veale, David Williams and me. This will be Dane's and Trudy's third trip to Kitale. We have already learned so much from them and their experiences there. Candice and David are incredible young people, full of enthusiasm and focused on their mission. So our "family unit" consists of "mom, pop, the kids and grandma." I'm honored!
I have now packed four suitcases, each weighing 51 pounds precisely! I will leave this Friday afternoon for Vancouver to spend the weekend with my family. Then we will all meet on Sunday at Vancouver Airport where we will fly out at 8:30 p.m. to London. After spending the night in London, we will then fly on to Nairobi, where we will spend two nights and a day sightseeing before we board a bus for an eight hour "ride of our life" - I hear - to Kitale, Kenya.
I will update this blog when I can. In the meantime, please pray for our safety as we embark on this fabulous adventure.
You did it!
ReplyDeleteFabulous post Nancy. I can hardly wait to see the pictures and hear you describe your "incredible journey". You'll be a champion blogger by the time you get home. Remember, include lots of pictures so we can see Africa secondhand.
They're going to LOVE you!!!! (Just like everyone here.)
Thanks for the update Mrs. Miller! We now have your blog linked to the GES Website. I am sure that the staff, students and parents will be monitoring your journey regularly.
ReplyDeleteMay you have a blessed time in Africa.
Great to see your photo!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm counting the days correctly (time zones can really mix me up) you'll soon be arriving at your destination. I hope everything has gone well. I'm absolutely sure you will have had adventures.
Do write down your first impressions (of each new thing) because you will never have those first impressions again. Once you've been there a while, the things that wow you now will be old hat.
