Simon's awesome friends Karen and Vinay surprised us with these t-shirts at our going away party last night! How freakin' cute is that!? On a not so fun note, I was also told last night by Lucy, who lived in Kenya for 4 months, that we would gain weight! GAIN WEIGHT!?!? Apparently all the food is so yucky that you just eat piles of heavy white loaves of bread! :(
Either way, we are sooo excited to finally be going! We feel like we've been planning this for so long, and now it's finally happening! We leave from London Gatwick at 9pm, have a layover in Dubai, and then arrive in Kenya around 2pm on Monday. We'll be taken to a hotel in Nairobi for the night and the next morning will go to an all-day orientation where we will find out where we will be placed. We'll be sure to wear our t-shirts all day!
Ok, we're off! Love to all our family and friends.
Emily and Simon
Really? Matching T-Shirts? Meh. I think since you are giving up worldly things for a life of service, you should have adopted the Buddhist approach and shaved your heads. Simon and Sinead - Hawt!
ReplyDelete...and please don't come back fat, I don't know if I have enough packing tape.
Be well you two - your journey is inspiring.
Peace be with you.
