It's exactly 3:33 here in America, which means in Malindi Kenya, the Sun is shining brightly...because it is 11:34PM and some of my favorite people, Kingi, Freddy, Rodgers, Jeremiah, Joyce, Catherine, Mary, Judy, Gladys, Lucy, Kahindi, Nelson, and Nathaniel are busy about their days, but they are probably taking a break soon to stop for some mchele na maharagwe, which is my very favorite food, or possibly some ugali and relish. Yum. I am looking forward to 6 more weeks of this!!! Those of you who have been KNOW why! :) Mostly I am rejoicing in the Holy Spirit, thanking my Father, knowing I will be reunited with my brothers and sisters across the world soon and very soon!!! Our team could not possibly be more excited for this mission, and they are preparing every day in various ways. I could not be more excited for them and more proud. I thank GOD for each and every individual that makes this team what it is, one member collectively. We stand together with a common purpose of carrying the name of Jesus Christ, knowing this purpose was what we were meant to live for, but mostly we just want to love on others, to give of ourselves, to be there for them and show them grace and love and mercy that our own Father has shown us, to let that same light that lives within us shine from without us. We have no doubt God is already preparing hearts, cultivating the land where the seeds we go to sow will be planted and HE WILL MAKE THEM GROW, PROSPER, AND FLOURISH. There is no turning back from this mission for us. We are all in, hands and feet, eyes wide open. The truth is, we did a cannon-ball off the high dive into this mission a long time ago, even if we didn't realize it. HE DID. We're here now, and He's been leading us to this point our whole lives. Bwana Asifiwe!!!! Praise the Lord for His goodness!!! Anapenda sisi!!! HE LOVES US!!!
