Leaving for Kenya

[Thank you to Al for setting up this blogsite for the Kenya Team!]

"We're off to Kenya!"

All six members (Cindy & Dan, Barb, JoAnn, Novelette and Kevin) made it to the airpot with THIRTEEN pieces of check-in luggage--and every single one weighted 50.5 lbs!! (The limit per piece is 50 lbs, with a fee of $50 for each piece 51-70 lbs). Each suitcase originally weighted 49-52 lbs so the team quickly switched a few slippers and toothbrushes here and there. At the ticketing counter every suitcase showed a weight of 51 lbs--but the woman at the counter was nice and let them all go. In the end she said, "God bless you!" so the team figured she was a Christ-follower and knew they were on a mission trip to bless the people of Kenya. Right away God gave the team much grace! And they totally were at the very LIMIT of what they could take, with each suitcase filled with medical supplies, toothbrushes, children's clothes, etc.

We were able to pray and then the team went smoothly through security. Hopefully they'll be able to access this blogsite and keep us posted on their trip.

May God watch over you all!---P Nancy
