We leave in 3 days!

We fly out of PDX to Amsterdam, 3 hour lay over, and the on to Nairobi.

We will be met at the airport in Nairobi by Dr. Ben Roberts. We will spend the first night at the Mennonite Guest house with the Roberts in Nairobi. The ladies plan on grocery shopping the next morning early and then we will be off for a 4 hour bumpy drive to Tenwek Hospital.

We have spent the last 3 months or so rounding up supplies for the hospital, the orphanages, the missionary families serving there in Kenya, and stuff for us!

We have everything from soccer balls, markers, lens implants, suture, surgical trays, parmesan cheese, iPods, bug nets, a vacuum cleaner, blankets, medications, lots of bug spray, surgical drapes, coffee mugs, puppets, lots of snacks, and a million other things I don’t have time to list!

Prayer requests:
1) That we would all be ready to go on Sat!
2) That all of our luggage arrives in Nairobi
3) No trouble with customs or visas
4) That we all do well on the plane ride over (10.5 hours to Amsterdam, 8.5 hours to Nairobi) especially Bode.
5) That we would all have patience and grace to extend to everyone, to each other and in every situation.
6) That all of the travel for us and the Roberts goes well this weekend!

Thank you for journeying with us.
