Going to Nairobi

Just wanted to let you all know I'll be flying to Nairobi with the Kuj family and Mark on Friday morning. We'll be buying all the supplies for their ministry for all of 2010 loading it onto a truck. There is a lot to do and we'll be very busy. There is no internet where we are staying so I won't be able to check email or blog very often. We'll have to go to an internet cafe to do that. So, if I don't respond right away, don't be worried or offended!

For the last two weeks, we have had two guys from Australia staying with us, Andy and his dad, Mick. They are working on building a school in a nearby village. They will be flying out with us too. They had planned on doing a short safari before going home and Suzy found them a better deal. It was such a good deal, that Mark and I will be going as well. We'll drive to the Masai Mara on Saturday and return on Monday. It will be a blessing to see some of God's creation in their natural habitat. Once we return, it's back to work!

Please pray for the following:

1. That the compound will run smoothly while we are gone.
2. That we will get everything accomplished in the time we have. (We'll be returning on February 18th)
3. That we will be safe as we fly to and from Nairobi.
4. That we will be safe as we drive around Nairobi (there are a lot of carjackings).
5. That we all will remain healthy. My asthma has been giving me a little trouble lately.
6. That we will be refreshed and ready to serve when we return.

Your continued prayers are very much appreciated. I'll try to update you as often as possible.

  4. Go Stacie! I miss you so much-There have been so many times where I have wanted to hear your laughter in response to some crazy thing my mom and I said. I know you're going to be fine and I'm so proud of you.
    Love,
    Kate!

  5. Have a safe time in "Nai-robbery". I pray you all are feeling better, and able to relax, rest, laugh, and have some true R & R. Also that you are able to complete the huge 'shopping list' and gathering of supplies to take back with ease.
    Praying for you that are in Kenya, and those who are responsible for keeping everything stable at the compound.
    Love, Kristi
