Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow

I know it has been a while since i have udated my Blog and for that, i apologize (dad):) There have definitely been some things that have been going on that i do need to update y'all on. We found yesterday that Eva and I will be heading up to Northern Kenya for a month to be apart of the ministry up there. Since things have been so up and down in Kenya (in particular Kibera) it has been difficult for Eva and to find our place in ministry when we are not allowed to go to our place of ministry. Our supervisors have decided that it would be a great time to have the opportunity of experiencing a totally different type of ministry for a month. We also found out today that we leave on Sunday! (2 days from now)...

Now that the initial shock of it all happening so fast, is settling in, we are getting very excited. We are not sure exactly what we will be doing though there is an elementary school and a Bible school there. The missionary family we will be staying with are from South Africa and they have been up North (Korr) for 25 years doing Bible translating and other various ministries. We are not sure what email contact and things like that will be up there 'cause we will be in the desert, in the middle of nowhere! It is going to be completely different than Nairobi, that's for sure! I believe it is the hot season now and when i say hot,i mean hot! Apparently it gets to about 35 degrees celcius (roughly 102) and that is at night! We will see how we do!

That is about all the details i know for now but will write when i can. Pray for safety as we travel by road there. It will take us 2 days. Pray for unity between us and the family we will stay with and that we can learn the things God wants to teach us through this time...i promise, when we walk with the Lord, there is never a dull moment!

i just heard the news from Eva, and i know for a fact as someone who has been to the north that you will love it. even in one month, if you throw yourself into the deep end of it, you wont want to leave! enjoy it

I can't even begin to imagine what you are experiencing now or what you have been through. I am just so encouraged to know that the Lord is moving and is moving you. I can't wait to see pictures and hear stories! I miss you!
