They're There

The team made it to Kenya at about 7pm Kenyan time yesterday after about 22 hours of traveling. I spoke to Donald for about a minute yesterday, and they had arrived at their first destination and were about to eat dinner. He didn't mention anything about luggage being lost, so I'm hoping and assuming that it means everything arrived okay. They travel with their clothes in a backpack as a carry-on, and reserve their two check-on bags for medical supplies. What a blessing it is that the luggage made it!
Today they worshiped at the church of a pastor who we (our church) have established a relationship with over the last couple of years. It is this pastor and men from his church who teamed up with us last year at the medical clinic, and they will do the same this year. After church, they headed to the place where the medical clinic will be held to set up "camp." I spoke to Donald for another minute today (I am very grateful for those minutes! And when I say minute, I mean minute -- as in one). He said that they were almost finished preparing, and the clinic will begin in the morning, which will be about 12am our time. So, if you happen to be up, please lift them up in prayer! It will be a long day! Last year, they saw around 400 people per day!
Donald and I hope to have a longer conversation tomorrow, which would be awesome! Having him so far away with such limited and brief contact gives me a glimpse of what it would be like without him in my life, and yeah, I pretty much don't like it one bit. Don't think I could have been a military wife -- y'all are amazing.
