I am counting down the days to our departure. We leave Plainview on Friday and head to Dallas-Fort Worth, where we will begin our journey at 7 a.m. Saturday, July 4. I will miss the Independence Day fireworks, but I'm sure there will be plenty of "fireworks" in my heart. I'm so excited for this three-week trip to Kenya!

Please keep us in your prayers. Pray for our safety, and pray for the people we will be meeting on our journey — that God would work through us to touch their hearts. And finally, remember that everything you do can be a prayer, whether it's changing a dirty diaper or washing dishes. I heard this neat prayer at catechist training today:

Thank God for dirty dishes —
They have a tale to tell.
While others are going hungry,
We are eating very well.
