Graduation:

I cannot believe graduation is so close - just five weeks away!! AHHHHHH!!! I am feeling a mixture of excitement and nervourness. It will be so sad and wonderful to mark the end of this time in the Institute, but also somewhat nerve wracking as I ponder...."what next". To be honest, my future in unclear. There is a lot of praying and talking going on and we will just have to wait and see what happens. But that being said there is one clear plan in action - after graduation I will be heading to Kenya to visit the Fergusons!! YAY!!!

Then.... back to the States - yes I will be back in Orange County around the middle of June. I look forward to seeing and visiting with everyone. And I must admit the idea of a hot shower and power sounds so luxorious :D

But in all that I would like to ask for prayer. Pray that the Lord would reveal His plan. That it would be clear. That He would confirm or close this path.

Thank you everyone!

Blessings and Love
Helen

Update!

Prayer Requests:

• POWER!!!! We are really struggling in this area - the last outage was for over a week. It is inconvenient because of keeping food and computers and phones, but most importantly we cannot run our well. When power is out we have to go to boar holes to fetch water. It is not the end of the world, but is hard with so many people fetching water and intermitent rain.
  
• Physical protection - I have been battling inestinal parasites and have had a few falls. Also, we are going to be traveling a bit this week.
  
• Children - our kids just finished exams and will have their last week of classes this week. They will be on holiday for a few weeks. Pray that they use their free time wisely.
