yay!

guess what? i found coverage for my shifts - HOORAY! :) praise God. i think i don't quite believe it's real, so i don't feel the excitement, but i'm glad that at least for now i'm set. pray that nothing unexpected comes up! ;)

last wednesday ended up being the worst call i've had yet. i barely slept all night - so i slept most of Thursday and had to eat a little. please continue to pray for me as I learn about the spiritual gift of fasting!

and lastly, here's a few cool things i found out about Kenya -

- the motto of Kenya is "Harambee" - which means "Let us all pull together" in Swahili
- the anthem of Kenya is "Ee Mungu Nguvu Yetu" - I wonder how the tune goes! :)
