Off to Africa!

Hello everyone! I apologize for not blogging for almost a week, but we got back to Brussels and had a LOT to take care of before our mission trip to Africa. I promise I will tell you all about 4th of July weekend in Brussels and our Africa trip in a few weeks when we get back! And I hope everyone stateside had a wonderful holiday weekend! :)

So here's our itinerary: today (July 7th), we fly to London and meet up with our team. They've already been traveling for 18 hours as I write this while we're still packing in our apartment, so I am sure they're exhausted! We fly to Nairobi tonight at 8:00 pm London time (3:00 pm EST) and we arrive in Nairobi at 6:00 am Kenya time! Pray we get some sleep on this flight! We then transfer to a smaller airport where we fly to Mfangano Island! We'll be on various islands in Lake Victoria for 9 days, then we spend 3 days in Nairobi visiting churches/hospitals, then we return to London on the evening of July 19th. We arrive in London on July 20th at 6:00 am.

Brent and I are spending the night in London on July 20th because July 21st is a Belgian holiday - so we're excited to spend 2 days exploring London! When we return to Brussels, we only have to spend 10 more days in our corporate housing apartment and then we finally get to move in and start to really settle in here.

Expect a long blog post in about 2 weeks! :) Please pray for us and our mission team over the next 2 weeks - I am SO incredibly excited Brent finally gets to experience Africa and the amazing work God is doing on Mfangano Island!

Until later.....
