What a marvelous team we had this year. It was great to have a wonderful mix of returning members and newbies. Everyone pitched in and we took good care of each other through our many trials of severe colds, back aches, lost luggage, missing ministry bags, forgotten trunks, organizing mounds of medicines, matching ministry bags to students and families, setting up clinics, producing programs, teaching teachers, making water runs, packing and re-packing, and re-packing some more, sharing team phones, sharing snacks, sharing shillings, and sharing Kenya's version of DayQuill, called "Day Nurse."
At the end of the day, we can safely say we had each other. It's relationships that count, and even if what we did may seem to some as only a drop in the bucket, it is, as Miriam, says the "gift of presence. that is felt and appreciated the most by our friends in Kenya.
Goodbye for now Kenya. We will miss all of you.
