Safari!

I leave for my safari in the Masai Mara is approximately 42 minutes! Ah! I can't wait! I got into Nairobi yesterday afternoon and got settled pretty quickly into Kate's apartment.  It's right down the street from the NLH so I spent a couple hours playing with the babies before they went to bed.  I got to see Karl again so I was pretty excited.  Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to see him before I leave since my flight gets in after NLH closes to volunteers :( I just want to freeze him in time so I can come back and adopt him in 5 years!

Anyway, I spent most of the evening masterfully packing all the unnecessary wooden animals I've bought over the past few weeks.  I probably have a good portion of the African wildlife to set up across my dresser.  However, I an extremely paranoid about them getting broken/crushed in my suitcase, but I think I packed them pretty well.  Otherwise, not much has happened since my last post.  I went to Wayne and Mary Lynn's for a French toast breakfast before I left Kisumu, so it was great getting to see everyone again before I left.  I really do miss Kisumu SO SO SO much and definitely plan on coming back in the future.  I never got to go to Lake Victoria, so I absolutely have to visit again.

It's weird to think that in just 4 days I'll be on a plane bound for London.  Crazy!  This trip has gone by so fast, especially in the last couple we eks.  I can't even put into words all the amazing things God has taught me and shown here.  He's definitely used Kenya and the people I've met here to help me grow closer to Him.  Thanks for all your prayers!  

love,
emily
