The last 4 days have probably been 4 of the most unocomfortable in my life. Walking into camp and being told to pick only 3 things to use for the next 12 hours: uncomfortable. Sleeping outside on a tarp in a lean to that my team built: uncomfortable. Worshipping in a building without air conditioning: uncomfortable. Being completely open and vulnerable with a team of people I just met on Friday: uncomfortable.
And yet the excitement is building! God has taught me so much about myself, about team building, and mostly about learning how to be completely open and flexible! he is breaking me of the need to be comfortable, breaking me of the need to be in control. He is teaching me total reliance solely on Him.
After all this time building my relationship with God and with my teammates, I am so ready to get to Kenya! We left Copperhill, TN at 7 AM, had a 3 hour drive to Atlanta, and are now waiting for our 8 eight hour flight to Amsterdam. From there we have a 3 hour layover and then a 7 hour flight to Nairobi. Following a day of rest there, we will be driving in a bus for 13 HOURS to our town of Mpeketoni. Yay travel!!!
Every minute, every tear, every moment wondering if this is right will be so worth it in approximately 48 hours. There isn't a single place I would rather be than right here, right now. I will never be the same. Goodbye for now America!!!!
