This is a very rough itinerary, but it gives you an idea of were I'll be.  I'll post the actual itinerary once I get it.

Prayer Request

Okay, so the tickets have been bought!  There's no going back now.  I've got to pay for these tickets, which are less than originally thought but more than secondly thought,within the next one to three weeks.  They ended up being in between $1800 and $1900 because it costs more to fly into DFW than it does to fly into Austin or Houston.  $1000 dollars of the price has already been provided, if you guys wouldn't mind the prayers for the other $800 - $900 would be greatly appreciated.  God has reaffirmed this trip ever step of the way and I know He'll provide once again, but your prayers are desired still!  Thanks you guys!

WOOHOO ! ! ! ! !

Looks like the final price for the airline tickets is going to come out at $1600 and some dollars!  A full $600 dollars less than originally thought = )  Once again God provided in ways definitely not expected by me.

To Do Lists, countdowns, and excitement...

Looking at the calendar yesterday I decided that just for the fun of it I would go ahead and see how many weeks were left until I took off on the adventure of a lifetime... 17... wait... 17?  Which for those not so mathematically inclined(It's okay you guys, I had to use a calculator =P) works out to 119 days.  That may seem like a long time yet, but throw in school, work, church, meetings, shots, shopping, planning, and more work, and you've got to wonder where you're gonna find the time to to everything you have to do.  Which is exciting, but a little daunting at the same time!

Praise #2

I got a phone call the other day from someone who said that they had close to $1500 dollars saved up in an account that they wanted to use towards missions of some sort.  They generously offered to sponsor my trip to Kenya : )  Yay for big things!

Does everybody have a traveling buddy?

Praise #1

I've got me a traveling buddy!  A whole family of traveling buddies!  Another missionary family, the Johnsons are leaving for Kenya on May 31st the day before I was supposed to leave and they have generously offered to let me travel with them.  This is a HUGE praise because there was some concern over me traveling through London all by myself.  Now I should also  get to spend a day at Masters Mission in North Carolina and see everything there.  It also takes a big load off of the family knowing that there will be other people there to keep me from doing anything stupid :P

Getting started...

So, as most of you know I'm going to be going back to Kenya this year to work with the Woodworth family for about 4 months.  I've been asked a lot of questions about it so I decided to go ahead and set this up for those interested in staying up to date with all that's going on.  I'll post some pictures of where I'll be staying, prayer requests, and just how God has provided for everything as time goes on.
