Following is an email I sent out on May 25th after I arrived, figured I should post it to my blog as well.
Just wanted to thank you all for your prayers and let you know that I've arrived safely in Nairobi! It's 12 pm on Sunday May 25th here, and I have a few minutes in a cyber (read: internet cafe) to check my email, before I leave with the ICY Kenya team to travel to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania for a 1 week conference.
It's been busy since I arrived, trying to process things and adjust to life here. I find myself wondering, what exactly am I doing here? The team seems to have things together and be very dedicated to their work, and it's not like I'm here to kick off something... I pray that God will help me get to know and understand them better, and see what they lack that I can provide. There's a lot I need to learn too, and much to unlearn about things I've come to take for granted.
I realized it's not good to have unfinished business when on a missions trip, especially one of this length... I'm not sure how many opportunities I will have to check my email, but I still need to sort things out at Berkeley this summer and for the fall, and that's not cool. =/ Please pray that everything will work out~
May God bless and watch over all of you! Hope to have another chance to write soon...
Love,
Virginia
