Crazy times

A lot has happened since my last post. We are very busy and getting ready to leave for four weeks of outreach. My team is going to Singida, the other team is going to Tanga. Please pray for our teams we are going into areas with Muslim and witchcraft strongholds. Pray specifically for safe travel and safe food and water. The team going to Tanga is going into the middle of a cholera outbreak. I could use prayer also. The devil has really been trying to discourage me. First, my back was causing problems. The day it started feeling better, I got dizzy and collapsed. That turned out to be double inner ear infections. I got antibiotics at the hospital but as the infection was clearing, I was having serious stomach problems. That was caused by the antibiotic being given to me at two times the appropriate dose. Saturday, I was feeling the best I have in weeks and…Sunday, I fell and broke my arm! At this point, it is becoming comical, even with the pain. I am excited about what God is doing in my life. I am planning to do a second school in September, Principles of Children and Youth Ministry. This is in preparation for a ministry that God has given me vision to start. As things develop, I will share more. For now, the hunt and peck typing is getting tiring, so I will say ‘blessings to you.’

oh i miss you so much richelle. I am so sorry to hear about all your troubles, but glad to know you are still in great spirits. I am so sorry I haven't written or sent my package yet. Moving had taken a toll on me, and then i ended the move with a horrible racking cold for 2 weeks. Please email your address again, as I seem to have "misplaced" it in the move. We pray for you daily, especially at bedtime with Kausten.

Hugs and Kisses.

Always, kenzie
