Hey Guys...

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.

What's Happening?

Hello friends,
You may be wondering what this blog is for? Well I shall tell you. Recently Emma and I have been offered the chance of a life time and we are going to take it.
On July 9, 2009 through July 19, 2009 we will be embarking on a missions trip to Kenya. We are going with Emma's church.
This blog will keep you updated on all of the things that are happening in our lives and how much money we have raised for the trip. We will try to have a new post or update every week.
We will be getting more info on our trip at a later time so I don't really know that much about it yet like what we will be doing , but when I do find out about it me or Emma will let you know.
On our blog you can leave comments. That always makes us smile when we get them.
One more thing at the end of every post we will sign our name to let you know who wrote it. :-)

-Riley
