T- 3 DAYS!

Friday we're driving up to Atlanta (camilla... FOOD) and Saturday is the BIG day.

ONE problem: British Airways went on strike! We are praying and trusting that they can figure this out.. We are supposed to board that airline to London. If something doesn't work out they will probably re-route us.

Watch the video I posted from the other day! It is incredible.

This is a brief summary of what we'll be doing exactly:
Day 1-3ish: Driving 3 hours to a slum in Kitui. There we will be working at an orphanage. The conditions in this area are harsh. The sewage lines the streets and homes are scraps stuck together of various materials. Many children have lost parents due to disease, and many are suffering from disease also.

Day 3ish-6ish: Traveling back to Nairobi to a slum called Kibera. There we will be working with a vocational school. This teaches older kids and adults how to master certain trades so that they can provide an income for their family. Sunday we will go to church with them.

Day 7ish- the end: We will be with a high school. There is a bead and jewelry place nearby that provide many jobs for the women. I cannot wait to see (and purchase) their handmade jewelry. We will also be talking with girls about hygiene and how to protect themselves better since the AIDS epidemic is highly prevalent there.

Last day: SAFARI!

Nothing else is really new. I started my job today, but I don't really start working until I return from Kenya. I LOVE MY JOB!

Zac is begging me to adopt a 16 year old boy from Kenya so he can have a brother that can go to school with him when we move to Birmingham. He was going to nickname him "Soul." Didn't sound like a bad idea to me.

Thank you friends for all of your encouraging messages and texts. I Love you! What a blessing you are.

ps..Laurel,Anna,Morgan, and Laura Langley start their adventure today to Jackson Hole. Enjoy the journey!
