"Do you -- know what you -- are getting yourself into."

Hello WORLD!
So, right now, I wish I could sit here for a couple hours and give you all some great stories and a full update, but that would cost my more shillings than I have....and please ignore the spelling errors- I'm typing this fast because time is money at this place...

I want to let you all know that I'm doing great. We just got back from two weeks in the bush, and it was a very good time. We are glad to be back in Nakuru though (it was an 11 hour truck ride back here)...it was a long couple of weeks. It started interesting...a ten hour truck ride up there, but we broke down after nine, so we had to camp on the side of the road. The next day we made it to Wamba (sort of like our base camp) and spent a couple of days there. Then to Ngali for three days, and then to Nkisseu for a week. That was the hard one. Lots of walking and very late nights, but all very good. Eric says that was by far the hardest week of the trip. I did get sick about a week ago and Eric thinks it was something with the water I drank, but it wasn't too bad. I was just really dizzy (I almost threw up) and lost my appetite for a couple days. I got better a lot faster than Eric thought I would though, and I was happy to be up and out of the tent. Kelly, one of the girls from Moody got sick as well, but she was a worse...she threw up a few times, and she is still recovering. But we are all good and are now doing some ministry with the kids here in the city. Thursday will be our day of rest- we'll be back in Nairobi to rest and also pick up three others. I was glad to here that two of them are closer to my age- one 16 (I won't be the youngest anymore), and the other just graduated high school. they are coming with a guy named John from Moody, who just finished his first year (I think). But the team is really great so far. I have really enjoyed getting to know Julianne and Kelly, along with some local people that have joined us in the bush. They are all good, hardworking people and we're a great team.
Like always, thank you so much for your prayrs and comments. It's a great encouragement. So far, I have over 330 pictures taken, and I might be able to up some up, but it's a pain with the slow connection...you might just have to wait.
So I need to get going now, but just know that it's been a great three weeks, and that I'm doing fine. Please keep praying for our team, and for our new additions, as well as for the people in Massai land, where we will be heading out to for our last two weeks.
Here is something I have in my head...(kudos if you know what it's from...)

"The road goes ever on and on,

down from the door where it began,

now far ahead the road had gone,

and I will follow if I can."

To my Family: I really miss you guys! I'm showing off the pictures I have of you to everyone here. Dad, thank you so much for your note- it's been a huge help and I carry it in my bible all the time. Mom, your note was very encouraging as well (I got all teary) so thank you for that and all the love you sent with and in it. Andrea, I really miss you too. I was letting one of the girls use my 360 hoodie, and she had here hair like you might wear yours, and she wears glasses, and when I glanced over I was like, "Andre- oh..." but I do miss you, and your note was great as well- sometimes I forget how mature you are. Carly, how are things? Are you keeping the family together still? I really miss you and your great smile. And Chris, life is just boring here with out you to make me laugh. So maybe write a coment with a joke or something, because I really miss your coolness.
I love you all, and I can't wait to see you again in three weeks.
