Africa
Well, we did it. We put down our deposit for our trip to Nairobi in October. I can't tell you how excited we are. It is definitely going to be a life changing experience. This is something I have wanted to do since I can remember. No one on this earth should live the way that they live in Nairobi. I want to do my small part to make that change. We will be there approximately 12 days (travel included). The trip itself is going to cost us around 2-3,000 dollars each. We are going to try and raise support for the trip. Even though our economy is so bad right now, I feel that what little money we do have, can be spent to help those in the worst conditions ever seen. We have running water, toilets, food to eat, warm showers and so many wonderful luxuries and these people have nothing. They live in sewage and drink from that same water! That is unacceptable! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are going to do God's work and spread His Good News to those who are less fortunate than us. I will update more as I learn more. God bless you all!

Awesome! And, funny, too, that it's in October! Mark and I will be going on our own trip to Bolivia in October, from I think it's the 9th until the 20th it is. We'll have to try to get together in November to share what God did on our trips! Africa is def. a country Mark and I want to visit soon. I know He'll use you in a big way and will also teach you so much along the way, too, like He always does when we're being tools for Him. Love you and proud of you for stepping up like that! I'll pray for you guys; you pray for us, too! I'm a little nervous to leave the little guys for that long! We'll pray for your trip and for safety, protection and peace for both you, Mike and your kids.
