One more trip in the books

Mission trips are like home improvement or giving birth (or so I’ve been told), you don’t want to start planning the next one until you forget how painful the last one was.

This was my second trip to Kenya. Just the fact that I’ve been home almost seven days and this is the first time I’ve gotten a chance to blog about it. It was long, my stomach gave up on Kenyan food with two days left in the trip, my neck and shoulders hurt from riding around in the back of a Matatu and I couldn’t sleep. That said it was a really great trip.

Unlike last time we engaged the kids early and played with them and got to know them better than we did before. We found the situation on the ground largely met our expectations, the kids were still well taken care of and are in an environment that they’re clearly loved. That makes the whole thing worthwhile.

It’s still technically going on. One of our board members still in Kenya, and has requested for ongoing prayers.

I’ve got some posts I’m going to try and get up next week.

Thanks for all your support everyone.
