First and Only Blog from America

Time has never flow like it has these last few days. Between packing, broken down cars, multiple trips to Wall-mart, Target and Kroger, for the bare necessities, and finally booking our travel from Kenya to Tanzania we have been quite busy. Oh did I mention that we found out that we are only allowed one bag each when we fly within Africa - Correct 50lbs for 6 months -EXCUSE ME !?! I went home for a week and had to repack cause I was over 50 lbs. One week - 6 months... let the adventure begin. Our Bible study leader Mrs. Elahe said that maybe God is trying to tell us that less is more. He's speaking loud and clear.

We fly out Friday morning and arrive in Kenya about 30hrs later - After this week I think we could sleep anywhere - event the middle seat of a plane. Thank you for being with us as we chase hard after God and how he wants us to serve him and his children. We are so excited to start our time in Africa with 40 friends from Northpoint and Buckhead Church. Please pray for safety, team unity, and that our hearts would be open for God to change us. In just a matter of days we will be in Africa hanging out with his children - How cool is that? Back to packing
