Well we had our last meeting Saturday to go over those final details before we all fly out on the 17th. It was a great meeting. Every moment with these people makes me glad to be going on this trip with them. Everyone is excited for the trip and the work that we shall be doing. The excitement they brings rubs off and I get even more excited myself. This will be a great trip.
It was nice to hear Pastor Charles talk about how we still want to have fun. Everything we have done has been focused on getting ready for the trip and the work we will be doing. So when he mentioned getting together at night to just have fun as a group, I think we all kind of realized that we had almost been taking this too seriously.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t be serious about this trip and the prep work we have all done. But we should enjoy each other’s company and the experience. We need to relax at times and just let God and Kenya tell us what they wish to tell us. It will be the moments of interaction that will be what forms the memories. Whether it is interacting with each other, the people we meet, or those quiet moments with God, that is from where the memories will arise.
I have to say, I’m really looking forward now to the home stays. It will be interesting to spend time in a Kenyan home and share with the people that are willing to open their home to us. I hope that I make a favorable impression on those that welcome me into their home. It will be so much more than I can think and so amazing to just share with people willing to share with me.
Tony
