Going, going...

No, not me, not yet! I had been wondering how on earth I was going to manage all of my heavy luggage on my own when I fly to Nairobi. One massive very heavy suitcase, a big travel bagpack, a smaller suitcase, a big laptop backpack, not to mention 30+ kg of health books/supplies. Did I mention I have back problems? Anyway, an opportunity has been provided for me to send all of the aforementioned health resources on to Nairobi next week with a couple of guys from the UK who are going out to South Sudan to help with the clinic renovations. British Airways gave them an extra 60 kg of luggage allowance when they explained that they had these resources to take to a clinic in South Sudan. Praise the Lord! When I found out I thought of Matthew 6:8, which reminds me that my Father knows what I need before I ask Him. So I'm very glad to hand all my heaviest stuff over into somebody else's hands. Please pray for the safety of these 2 guys as they travel next week and for a smooth transition through customs. It also makes my own departure feel a bit more imminent and real since some of my stuff is going over! Exciting! I'm going to have to work on plan B in regard to my studying. You might recall that I've been using all those health resources for my review! Well, I found out that I can use the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine library as a visitor for reference so that will be a great quiet place to study with endless resources at my fingertips.

Hi Amy
you have never met me but I have met your parents through their church. They have been really kind to me as I am new to PA and do not know a soul. Like you I am a nurse and last summer I spent 7 weeks in Kenya. It was an experience that has forever impacted me and has given me a desire to return some day. It is awesome how God provides and has provided for you in your travels. I am praying for you and think that God will use you for many things. If you are in Nairobi greet people there with Habari and not Jambo(this is a tourist thing) and greet the kids with Sasa. Keep in touch and let me know what is happening
