Packing For Three Years


Jambo! My four month formation program has been completed.  I really miss my fellow Lay Mission-Helpers and Mission Doctors after living with them for these past 4 months.  As I have stated previously, they are truly a remarkable and talented group of people and I cherish their friendship.

As for myself, I am now at my parents’ home and in the process of packing, or rather trying to figure out how to pack 3 years worth of things I will need in Kenya into two large duffel bags!!!.  I tend to over pack so this is quite a challenge for me!  My wonderful and very organized sister is flying out here (to CA) from Cleveland to help me with my packing!!  Thank you Mary!!! 

I have all my shots and my mosquito netting, bedding, electrical adapters, toiletries, first aid kit, headlamp, clothing and electronics pretty much all together.  Every day I think of something else, I guess at some point I will just have to just say enough!!!  The most important things I will be bringing are my bible and rosary and GOD!!!

I am getting so excited, sometimes it seems surreal to me!   I am really MOVING TO KENYA FOR THREE YEARS!!!!!

Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.  I really appreciate all the love and support everyone has shown me and I thank you again!!!

Love,
Kathleen
