Funds, food and frenetic activity!

The countdown is on! It's only three weeks on Thursday until I leave! When I put it like that it makes me panic, but at the same time I know I've already done a lot and I will have done lots more by this time next week.

My visa application is being processed and, all being well, I should be able to pick it up this Thursday afternoon. That is as long as the raffle ticket I was given in exchange for my forms, passport, £60 etc entitles me to a visa and not to a bottle of wine, gift basket or other random prize!

I had a really good meeting last week with a trustee of a charity who may be able to provide me with some funding for my trip, so I am waiting to find out about this. Prayers and thoughts are appreciated!

Tomorrow the packing starts in earnest when the boxes arrive. I live in a little studio flat but I think I'm still going to be surprised at how many boxes I fill! I am not good at packing and will have to work very hard at not being distracted. I've found a 'man and van' who can do the loading, transporting to my rented garage and unloading for a reasonable fee.

Also this week I am organising a Kenyan meal and sale/auction of crafts and other exciting things, some provided by friends and others by local shops, at my church on Saturday. It should be a lovely evening and my wonderful friend Sue has agreed to be in charge of the cooking which is brilliant!
