Gah! (Yes, Melissa, I just stole your noise...although I'm not real sure how to write it.)
Three and a half more days and I'll be on a plane to Kenya! Well...to Seattle and then to Chicago and then to London and then -- thirty five hours or so later -- I'll finally land in Kenya. Yeah. I am going to be so ready to get off that plane and get through customs!
It's been so long in the planning though, that it seems odd to be actually leaving. I got hugs from all sorts of random ladies, that I swear I have never seen before, at church on Sunday, all of whom were, "so excited for me!" It was rather amusing in a slightly odd sort of way.
The fourth and fifth graders made me cards to take with me. One had a drawing of a giraffe, a well, and a penguin. Not real sure what is going on there. Maybe penguins live in Kenya and I just didn't know about it?
They weren't the only creative ones though.
My small group created an entire scene on the front of theirs and then proceeded to explain to me how the butterflies were carrying the iguanas because they were allies in a war against the snakes, and they were about to drop the iguanas on the snakes in a sort of aerial assault.
Yep. We're special. Lol.

Jessica, I didn't get to come and say "Good-Bye" to you at your party on Saturday... But I won't tell you good bye, I will say I will see you in 16 months! I am a faithful Blog reader and I will be reading yours as you comment... I will be praying for you.
Jessica, I am so proud of you. For many reasons, but first of all for trusting God to go on the ministry trip to Denver. You were so anxious, and now look at you taking a jet plane to Kenya! Way to go my friend! I know God has great and amazing plans for you, and I pray that God will continue to reveal them to you as you continue to be faithful to the leading of his will for your life.
You are so loved, even by women you don't even know! (thought that was funny on your Monday writing!)
Take care Jessica and send pictures on your blog as you can up load them and continue to write. I pray you will have access to communicate this way!
God Bless you each and every day!
your friend!
