I'm sitting in our hotel room late on Tues. night. All the kids are in bed and we have to be up in 6 hours to head for the airport.
Can't believe we're out of our house for good. Wasn't expecting to sob, but walking out of that house for the last time got me very emotional. It wasn't because of the house; just because of the memories. They're tangible, and I will cherish them forever.
Thank you for your prayers as we embark on the next 36 hours of travel (minus a sleep at a hotel).
Some of you have asked for an itinerary to be able to pray specifically. Here it is:
Phoenix to Minneapolis, arriving 2:30 pm local time, March 2.
Minn. to Amsterdam, arriving 6:40 a.m. local time, March 3.
Amsterdam to Nairobi, arriving 8:30 p.m. local time, March 3.
Overnight in Nairobi hotel.
Nairobi to Kitale by car, arriving whenever we get there in the evening, March 4.
We'll keep you posted when we arrive. Please pray that flights are on time, for no cancellations, and for content, peaceful children. God is good, and we definitely feel protected and cared for.
Praying that God will carry you all straight through to Kitale. And...that He will BE your Peace, Strength, Comfort, and Wisdom should your plans be any different then His as you travel.
ReplyDeleteLove you all and CAN'T wait to hear how your trip goes!
Our prayers go with you as you journey on and on and arrive in the wonder of this new venture with our Lord. Nita

Amy! I didn't know your guys were Kenya bound! And it sounds like for a while? Good luck and have an amazing time! You must be meeting up with Timothy, right? He is in Kitale and is very active and doing a ton of work! Let me know if you don't have his contact info and I will give it to you. I am rarely on Facebook, but you can message me there or just send an e-mail: jheather.nielsen@gmail.com
