“We are in Amsterdam. First blog post whoo!” – Charles Fast
We are going to Kenya!
This morning the Kenya team said goodbye to our loved ones; took a step
of faith, and are going on a journey of a lifetime.
Leading up to the trip all of our supply suitcases kept coming
out over the 50lb limit, mainly because we are taking a ton of books. We spent
hours rearranging them until finally they were just barley under the weight
limit. When we got to Seattle and started checking in the bags almost every
single one of them was over weight… normally for an overweight bag they charge
around $150-$300 each. So with about 15 of them that adds up quick! The lady
checking us in let every single one of them go as they were. This trip is already off to a great start!
We just got off of a wonderful 9 hour flight where we got
lots of pretzels, peanuts, stale bread, what tasted like a microwaved TV dinner
and a surprisingly good brownie. Now we
are in Amsterdam! Although it probably sounds more exciting then it actually
is. Everyone is doing well and in good health.
After our layover here we will be boarding the plane that will
take us to Nairobi, Kenya!
Prayer Requests:
· `For safe travels
· `Good health
· `That every single person on the team will have a
willing heart
· `God will be preparing the hearts of the people
we will be ministering to
· `For all of our friends and family at home to be
safe and healthy
I am praying for you all and will follow you every step of the way!! Blessings to you all!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for your journey, Maddy. I will pray for you daily and check in to see the exciting posts as often as possible. Have a wonderful time! If you remember, will you ask Thomas which little girl at the Savior Kings Academy is Leefa and take a picture with her just for me? I miss her and want to see how much she has grown. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love to all and safe travels.
