God is Good!

Yesterday was John's birthday. We celebrated by having pizza and playing skeeball at Chuck E. Cheese's. While running around the gameroom, I walked away from my camera. When I went to look for it, it was gone. All of us that were there hunted all over for it, asking the employees and other people there. Unfortunately, no one could find it. John and I realized that someone probably stole it. Everyone that was there, not necessarily together, prayed blessings over the person who stole the camera, but also that the Holy Spirit would convict them to return it to me.
Later on an employee called me to the counter and asked me to describe my camera. She said that a lady had stolen it, went home and felt bad about it and came back to return the camera to me!

YAY GOD!

Kenya!

We are going to Africa! Kenya to be more specific. John and I found out last month that we were chosen for the Kenya mission trip. We are so honored to be chosen because there are only 6 first year students out of almost 500 that are going. We really felt connected to it when we read the description back in October. I guess that was the leading of the Holy Spirit leading us to make it our number one choice because we got picked!
The trip is April 5-15, 2008. We will fly into Nairobi and minister to some churches there, and head over to Nyahururu where the Heroes of the Nation orphanage and school is located. We will be spend a few days there with the kids and teachers, and then a few days at Destiny Bible College. The students at the orphanage and the college are being raised as leaders to make a difference in Africa. It's so cool to be a part of that!
We had our first meeting on Friday to get a taste of the trip. They really expect a lot out of us, and John and I are so excited. We will actually be teaching and preaching the gospel in schools, churches, and the streets! I know that our lives will not be the same after this experience. Get ready to hear some amazing testimonies about the love and the power of GOD! YAY!
