9 DAYS UNTIL WE LEAVE!!!!!!

I'm so excited I could burst! I've been trying to tame down the excitement because I don't want too many people to think I'm strange, but I'm pretty sure that on an excitement scale of 0-10 I'm at a solid 100! God has come through tremendously for this whole trip to work out and I'm just so anxious to see what he has in store while we are there.

We are asking for prayer!!! Please pray with us that God would give us a safe journey to and from Africa. Please pray that lives would be changed and that God would use us to be a blessing for the people we meet along the way. Also... please pray for RAIN! There is a severe, horrible, unimaginable drought going on in Eastern Africa right now (Kenya included). People are walking over 100 miles just to find WATER! Parents having to bury their children along the way because their tiny bodies can't handle the stress of the long journey and the severe dehydration. God bring the rain!
"Jesus answered, "“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” " John 4:13-14
