You know how when something great is coming up, and its right around the corner, but you have so many things before that, you cant really get excited yet? Yeah, thats how I feel tonight. Tomorrow I leave, but it will take me a full day to get to Kenya. So, I think it still doesnt feel real. I think the last flight, from Zurich to Nairobi, will be the one where I start feeling it all.
I get into Nairobi at 7pm on tuesday night, *sigh* and start a brand new chapter in my oh-so-blessed life. I wish I had more to share... just dont yet! Actually, a few quick notes on the current state of Kenya:
WFP currently feeds about 1.5 mil people in Kenya, but the country is going through serious drought, and the number is thought to go up to 10mil this year because the last 2 harvests have been disapointing. (AP)
Kenya's Harambee Stars play away at Uganda in the East and Central Africa Senior Challenge (Cecafa) Cup finals! Go Kenya!!
Kenya teachers are of the lowest paid civil workers in Kenya, and would like to be given a pay increase. Since they have been told no, they are planning on going on strike starting January 19th. (KBC)
I dont know what that last story means for me, but that will be something to look out for.
Thanks to you all for your support (special thanks to Believers Church in chesapeake for their super support and prayers today!!), and especially prayers, and Ill see you soon!

Hopefully the strike won't affect you too much, but who knows? You might have a much bigger class, that is, if you scab. I hope everything turns out ok. Keep us updated.
