Preparation Stage...almost done...Blasting off tomorrow!

Wow. The flurry of activity to leave home for 5 weeks is incredible! Last minute running around for needed items for us and the missionaries we are visiting has kept me hopping! I know the trip ahead will be full of challenges and lessons, and I can't wait.

Our DC Amani Safari team will be gathering in Nairobi in mid-July. Before I join them, I will be visiting 4 countries in the next 3 weeks: Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Malawi.

In Rwanda and Burundi, I will have the treat of visiting the "sister centers" of Amani in each of the capital cities, Kigali and Bujumbura. I am really looking forward to meeting and enjoying the women there, hearing their stories, and learning about their centers where "peace is sown."

As an old African proverb says, "If you are rich and not generous, it is as if you had nothing."

Truly, it is better to give than to receive...and a lot more fun!

Well, off to finish the last minute packing!
