That's right. I can't take it anymore. I think about my friends in Kenya every day and I'm constantly brainstorming about ways to get myself on a plane back over the sea. There's no better time than the present, unless of course you're in class everyday, and then there's no better time than that small gap between Spring classes and Summer classes!
Sure, I don't have the money to do this, but the Lord is soooo good. I've got full faith that something will happen. I decided that I can't really lobby friends and family for cash, because it's not really an all out "mission trip." It's more selfish than that. I seriously believe that all trips are mission trips in a sense and my intentions are to glorify the big guy at all times, but that kind of money probably needs to go to younger kids that have never had the opportunities that I have.
Anywho, this time it's going to be my sister Laura and I. There's a children's home we already have plans to go to with my good friends, Lawrence and Cornelias. They, along with other African friends have promised to find some amaxing things like that to fill our time. Most likely it will be split 50/50 between Kibera Slum and Eburu(village in the bush). On the serious side, this is a location that was wrought with blood and havoc about a year ago over a rigged election, so I will be asking for a lot of prayers for blessing and safety. I love you guys.
