Ladies and gentlemen, in just a few short hours I will board the plane that will take me not only thousands of miles away physically, but will take me to new extremes spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Am I scared? Hell yeah. But I'm more excited than anything else and I know this trip will be worth it.

I got an email with my placement the other day so now I know more specifically what I'll be doing and where I'll be- I'll be living with 2 wonderful Kenyan ladies, Milka and Wambui, in a volunteer house in Nairobi, and I'll be teaching science, math and writing at a co-ed high school that's in walking distance from my home. It sounds perfect for me :)

I have no idea how much internet I'll have but as soon as I can I'll get online just to let everyone know I'm safe. Love you all and thanks for the immense support.

Tutaonana Mungu akipenda
