Emma here. I haven't written anything yet, so I wanted to share some thoughts & new information on our trip to Kenya this summer.
I think that Riley and I both are getting very excited and the trip to Africa seems a little more real now that things are getting started. We've sent out support letters, have started the passport process, & have completed an online application. We will need to get shots too, so I will be looking into that this next week. In two weeks, our team will meet for the first time to discuss the logistics of the trip.
Our deposit is due this next week. I got several responses to my support letters and have already exceeded the deposit! Thank you everyone! I'm excited that you want to be a part of our journey to Africa! In our meeting, we are going to discuss fundraising. Any ideas?
In just over 13 weeks, our journey begins. I'm excited to experience what God has planned for us in a foreign country.

Hey Emma and Riley-
We are super excited for your trip to Africa. I know that your lives will be forever transformed from your experience there. We fully intend to support you both financially and prayerfully. An idea for a fundraiser would be a spaghetti dinner. Everyone brings in the ingredients and charge about $5-$10 per meal. We tried this when my youth choir went on a trip and it was very successful. Much love to you both!
Sarah & Erik
Thanks for the great idea. We might have to do that. And we love you guys as well. Well at least I do.
