Off to Busia!!

Hi Everyone...gonna have to make this quick cause its late and tomorrow morning (in about 4 hours) I'll be getting up and headed on a long journey to Busia..a town on the opposite side of Kenya on the border of Uganda. The beginning of the week retreat to Sun N Sands beach resort was very nice and provided much needed rest! It was so neat to sit by the Indian Ocean again. I just love the ocean!! Will post pictures soon. Abby, the other American gal joining us for the next 3 weeks arrived yesterday and has had to quickly adjust before we head on the missions trip to Busia. I've gotten a little time to meet 3 of the college gals going with us (Karimi, Soni, Lynn) and I'm looking forward to getting to know them and growing close to them in the coming week! They all seem to be very sweet girls! Please pray for us as we travel to Busia this coming week. We will be gone from August 5-13th...and then Dennis might be staying a few days longer there with his Mom and Dad. Here's a little run down of what we are going to be doing and how you can pray!
