Well, here it is the end of May and
also the end of our formation program. The last four months have been a once in
a lifetime chance to pray, reflect, and learn about ourselves, community,
mission work, and the living church. Our instructors were all gifted
teachers and the community of people I lived with were truly remarkable
individuals who I am now blessed to call my friends. The commissioning
ceremony was beautiful and of course, I cried. They were tears of
gratitude and joy and I now proudly wear the blessed gold ring that declares
that I am one of God's helpers.
I am now faced with the practical side of this journey and am starting to pack. Oh my goodness! How to begin deciding what to take and what I can do without?? First thing in my suitcase will be anti-diarrhea medicine and a mosquito net! :) But seriously, it is a challenge to pack well. I have had lots of good advice, though, so I am making lots of lists and sticking to them.
Please continue to pray for me during this time. Saying good bye to children, grandchildren, and friends is difficult. God's voice is strong, however, so I am looking forward to new people and new places to love. Jambo Kenya!
