Busy Last Days

Hey everyone!!

Want to thank you once again for all of your prayers and support in the past three months.

We have gone through this week without any babies in Isolation!! Praise God :) I am feeling much better this week, and am healthy aside from a runny nose, which is no biggie. We still have no water in our rooms.....its been a week now, but it wouldn't be an experience if we had water right?! That's what I keep telling myself anyways....haha

Before I explain my weekend coming up, I want to let you all know.....
FOUR MONTHS FROM YESTERDAY I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!!!
And I am a little excited about it :)

Anyways, this last week and weekend is busy. The past couple of days I have been getting in lots of baby time and last minute pictures!!! This afternoon I am going to "House Church" with a family from Rev. Peter's church. Not too sure what to expect but I am sure it will be interesting. I am hoping to go to Juja Farm on Friday and then the other three volunteers and I are going out for supper. Saturday we are feeding the babies and then heading into Nairobi to go to lunch, the market and look around. Sunday is church with a mom named Dorcas. I have been to this church once before, and it is a very Pentecostal church, which is different for me, but she wanted me to come again before I left so I will go. Hopefully I won't be gone all day, so that I can spend time with the babies. I think I will be going back to Kicheko Slum on Monday morning and being with the babies and kids in the afternoon and evening. Early morning on Tuesday I will be boarding a plane for home.

It is super crazy that my time is coming to a close so fast. I am trying to make the most of my time left, but at the same time I think I am in denial that I am leaving. I am excited to see everyone at home and to start volunteering again, but at the same time I wish everyone at home could come here to visit me so that I could stay here. But I suppose that God gave me this amount of time for a reason, and it is time to move on to a different season of my life (the wedding planning season!!!).

Please pray for me as I complete my time here and prepare myself for leaving. Also if you could please pray for my flights home; I go from Nairobi to Amsterdam and wait two hours. Board another plane to Toronto and wait another two hours. Then board my last leg of the trip into Winnipeg where I will be landing at 11:55pm on Tuesday April 23rd!! Please also pray for Erik as he drives into the city to pick me up.

I feel like I am running out of things to blog about...I hope this is interesting for you!!

Thank you for reading and praying.
Love: Rach :)
