The last one.

See this?

This is my last Diet Dr. Pepper for a long, long time. *Sniff sniff*

Today at 5:25 Houston time I'll be sitting on a plane taking off from Newark Airport. I get to London tomorrow morning 12:25 Houston time, and I leave for Nairobi four hours later.

As of 12:30 Thursday afternoon, I will be living in Kenya.

No idea on the length of time yet...we're still waiting on some information before that decision can be made. But no matter how long we are in Africa, God is still the same. He is faithful, never confusing, and loves us more than we can begin to comprehend. Only He knows how long we'll be there and what we'll be doing...isn't that all that really matters?

Prayer requests:

- Safe travel. Lots of planes, lots of opportunities for stuff to go wrong, and lots of time to lose luggage.

- That all of our luggage would make it to Nairobi safely and with nothing missing. British Airways is notorious for losing luggage, and African airports are notorious for taking whatever they want from suitcases.

- Quick adjustment to the time in Nairobi (Kenya is 8 hours ahead of Texas)

- For orientation in Nairobi to run smoothly, and for our transition to Korr to be smooth and safe as well.

Thank you for all of your prayers and encouraging notes, emails, and letters...they mean so much to me. I'm feeling your prayers in a very real way.

Hillary has been in Korr for the last seven months and left just a few weeks ago. I've been reading (stalking) her blog all year...she has some truly wonderful things to say about what the Lord is doing in Korr.
