Going to Kenya!

The day I have waited for and dreamed of for so long is finally almost here. It’s the day I return to the land that so deeply stole my heart! That’s right, on June 10th I board a plane with my family and four friends to once again step foot into the country that has forever changed my life. I can’t wait!!!!!
I can’t wait to hug my Kenyan friends from three years ago, and I can’t wait to be surrounded again by Kenyan accents and Swahili. I can’t wait to worship with the people, and to learn from their amazing faith and perspective on life again. I can’t wait to build a classroom in the slums of Nairobi, to build a playground for the orphanage, to play with the kids, to love on the people, to lead women’s bible studies, and to preach at church. I can’t wait to experience and see God in ways beyond my wildest imagination, and to see the ministry of ELI first hand again to revive my passion and feeling of purpose for when I’m working in our office in the states. And I can’t wait to do all of this with my family along side me.
I have no idea what God has in store for me and our team during these three weeks, but I am so excited to find out. What I do know is that it is going to be one crazy adventure led by one wild, unpredictable, extravagant, powerful, good, and loving God!
Wish you were coming? Yeah, I know, but don’t worry, I’ll bring back tons of pictures and stories to share!

Meet our Team! So here it is– the all-time coolest team ever! The eight of us built this fence during a weekend retreat we spent at a ranch for the mentally disabled. What an incredible bonding trip. We are now all official ranchers who are professional cow milkers, tractor drivers, horseback riders, skeet shooters, log choppers, and chainsawers. We had a blast spending time with the ranchers, and learning to laugh and work together as a team. Now we really can’t wait to serve together in Kenya and make even more fun memories.
