Here is everyone that was at AIM orientation; our team of 6, 1 going to Nairobi to counsel missionaries, and 6 going to Kenya to an MK school ~ Courtesy of Hanna :)
Today's the day! Today's the day! :) :) We woke up very excited this morning (I think the actual first word out of my roommate's mouth was "yayyyyyyy!!") I feel nothing but excitement at the moment to finally get going to where we're going! We have a LONG 2 days of travel ahead of us and prayers for safety and that things go smoothly and all that jazz would be appreciated. It was interesting waking up this morning, showering and getting dressed and wondering for just how long I'll really be in these clothes and when exactly the next shower that I'll see will be...! Our flight leaves Newark tonight at 8:50 (I think?) over to London...and yes we're very excited at the prospect of getting to spend a few hours in London since we're there all day tomorrow! (Ironically enough I will not be getting to see Holly who will also be in London...sad day ~ shout out to roomie and colleen!)



Ok Blog post Part B:

Had to take a little break for our sending off luncheon! Again, I have been so blessed by all of the people here...we had a fabulous sending off luncheon with good old hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit salad, baked beans...as American as they could get I think! I know we all appreciated it. I also have been reminded of the importance and the blessing in sharing our testimony and hearing others' as well as the fruit of sharing Scripture. Our time after eating was spent hearing some testimonies and favorite and relevant Scriptures of many here, joined by most of the staff here at AIM as well. For the next few hours we'll just be hanging out, saying goodbye to the other 7 people who were here for orientation but are not leaving for Africa until next month, and getting the rest of our luggage and supplies in order. AIM has been very supportive and will be sending us over with additional bags of supplies for the kids and fortunately this time around a dvd player with two versions of the Jesus film, one for kids and one for the women. I'm not sure when I'll be able to access the internet again. Once we arrive in Uganda, we will be staying in Kampala through the rest of the weekend for additional orientation, etc. with the contact there before heading over to Tororo on Monday. I'm glad we are finally starting our journey but at this point Monday seems so far away! Well gotta run! Love you all!
