Essentials: Kenya

The Blog checklist: So you all can see what goes into prepping for a trip to Africa:


Vaccines, Meds:
Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Menigococcal Meningitis, Typhoid, Malaria, Polio Booster, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis. Take it two weeks before, take it every other day, take it two days before leaving, then every day until two weeks after you come back...don't eat for two hours after taking, don't take in the evening. You may experience these odd symptoms...Seriously a BUNCH OF MEDS!!!

Supplies:

FLashlights, Lamps, Battery operated everything, Bibles, Gifts to give away: Pens, Candy, Balloons, etc. Slacks, shirts, Safari clothing, non-shower cleansing products, soap, TP, Exactly 5 tons of hand sanitizer...

What's missing? Oh yeah: God be with us. Through all the hustling and packing and last minute planning, may we never forget why we go. That God crashed into our souls, violently in some cases, and ruined us forever. I say that in the sense that I am not the same, and never will be. That He impacted my life to the point where living without electricity or clean water for a week, not only sounds like a GOOD idea... but promises to be a life-changing experience. I am so grateful for this chance, and for all of your prayers as we go. 4 Days!
