Plans for the Week

Hi everyone...first i want to say thank you for all the fun and encouraging comments you have left on my blogspot and thank you Nicole for letting everyone know i made it safely here. Here's some pictures of the road outside my flat (apartment) and some pictures looking off the balcony...

Today i went with one of our teammates Drew to the hospital to have his blood checked out to see if the infection he's had this past week is gone...and Praise the Lord it has and he's feeling much better!

The Polytechnic students are on break right now so we are taking advantage of the time to run errands and get things done before the semester starts back in a few weeks. Tonight we had our first team meeting with the college students who will be joining us on the Busia trip this coming week. It was a great time meeting some of them, listening to Dennis encourage us with the WORD, and planning for the week ahead. This week Dennis, Drew, Kristin and I will be taking a little 3 day trip to the beach for a little relaxation before beginning up work. I will be so greatful for the rest and for the time to get over this yucky jetlag feeling. Then on Saturday we will begin our trip to Busia. We will be driving across the country to the border of Uganda where Dennis and Drew will be leading and teaching at a sexual purity conference in Busia. We are going along to encourage them and to minister to the ladies and young girls there. Five college students are going with us. This will be a great time for Kristin and I to build relationships with these college ladies. Please pray for our safety as we drive that long long bumpy ride. We will stop half way in Nairobi and stay overnight with some other missionary friends. We will all be staying at Dennis' father's house...gonna be a tight squeeze!
