Rural home stays start tomorrow!! We have a midterm early tomorrow morning and then we will set off..there is a lot of excitement and even more apprehension about it. Who will our families be? What type of house will we life in? What type of work will they do? We already know not to expect any electricity or communication with home and to be very flexible. Like with coming here we know nothing about our families, but this time tomorrow we will be sitting a table talking and learning about one another. So, communication will be zero until November 1.
Please be praying for me, it is Thursday evening and I am still not sure whether or not I will even be able to go. I have pleurisy, which is super painful and makes it really hard to breathe. Since I am not known for having the best lungs and I will be stuck in the middle of the African bush I want to be extra careful as far as health. If I am not feeling better by tomorrow morning I will probably stay until next Friday and meet up with the rest of the group at Sipi Falls. I would be super disappointed but I also do not want to risk anything. Please pray for quick healing tonight and for the rest of the week. Please pray for safety to and from Kapchorwa. Pray for a great time with a new family, for new lessons and experiences and new ways of seeing God when we are really on our own (our closest neighbor should be an hours walk away). We will be home on Sunday, November 2! Can't wait for my next blog to update you all on what happened!
