What a difference!

Right now, we are in a neat little town called Kakamega, in Kenya.

Since i last updated, SO much has happened.


-We've been reuinited with our other half of the team...
*its so good to have them here!! it definitely has completed us!

-We've had an interesting array of foods and stories to share
*most of which Kubwa (or Cody) has a hard time adjusting too, but I'm sure he's enjoying the experience altogether. ;)

-We've had so much laughter it hurts our cheeks and our bellies!!

-We've distributed misquito nets to a village in the bush with an amazing lady we called Miss Martha and her quaint little school.
*encountering her love and passion for Christ has literally changed my life, ruined me for the better.*

-We got to stand in a room with about 35 orphans while they sang literally at the top of their lungs to Jesus, and prayed spontaneously and genuinely to a God that I could see all over them, and whom I believe they sincerely love.
*they loved worshipping so much, that they took us outside to worship and sing and dance and jump and praise even more after their prayer time was over!*

-We got to hike on the side of a cliff to an amazing (and amazingly cold) waterfall, in which we all decided would be a good idea to jump and swim in, even with the risk of hypothermia)

-We got to paint 2 big classrooms and a hallway of a public school
*in which the very very thin paint dripped in 7 out of 8 of our eyes probably every 5 seconds*

-We got to see a SIMBA! (LION)
*she may have been about 300 yards away, but we still saw her!*

-We got to take part in leading an amazing concert hosted by YoungLife in Nairobi, where over 400 people showed up, and we know at least 1 wanted to know more about the Jesus we talked about..
*we saw some amazing dancers, singers, rappers, comdeians, and got to sit in groups with them and talk real life about things that they are going through, and help them.



I wrote on my profile that this has been one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had, and I hope and pray desperately that my children get the opportunity to have love and share love the way i have.

Sometimes i think it hasnt hit me that i'm across the great big globe,
and other times, i almost feel like this is home.

Everything here is amazing. Everything.

I feel like I'm getting closer to God. Through relationships with the team, through every single child's face and smile, through every African that smiles and waves and yells "wazungu!" when we walk by, through the animals, through the hospitality, through the poverty, through the celebrations, through the culture, through the Word of God, through nature, through the day...

I have had one of the most intimate times with Him one day when we were stuffed into a van on a bumpy road, and the song "only you" by David Crowder came on... i closed my eyes and then I was dancing with Him on a mountain top. just us two. He held me like a Father would hold his little girl.. or a Lover would hold his Beloved. It was priceless.

We are at an orphanage now called Mission To The Fatherless, and its amazing.

We still have a few weeks here where we're going to do some YoungLife meetings and help the orphange more, then heading to El Dorat.


Thank you guys again for everything..




I love you.. miss you all... Know this is not in vain.. know that God is here, just as he is there, just as he is the God of you, he is the God of the Africans, and the Asians, and the Australians...

So great.


remember..


Go make a difference!
