Here's some questions I've been asked lately about the trip ICYDK...
"Where are you going?"
A small town outside of Nairobi, Kenya in East Africa
"What's Kamulu?"
the name of the town we will be living in
"What are you doing now?"
Finishing up my masters in Plant Breeding at Texas A&M
"What are you packing?"
Clothes, medicine, toiletries, camera, books, along with some supplies we want to bring for MITS and small things to remind us of home. The city is somewhat close by and has almost anything that we would really need.
"How are you paying or being supported for this?"
My church at A&M is paying for half the expenses- they call it a "Serve Abroad"- and we find a way to fund the rest. I eat a lot of tuna and eggs so I got it covered but if you want to support us you can keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
"Are there bathrooms? Where will you stay?"
Yes. Laquita and I get our own apartment-like room that has two bedrooms, a living area, and private bathroom. FANCY.
"Are you coming back for Christmas?"
No :( but I'll skype...or we could have Christmas in March??
"Isn't it hot over there?"
Probably so, but its hot here too.
"Are you going to miss your family?"
Nah I'm kinda sick of them anyways. They probably don't even read this...
Ofcourse I will! I wish Kenya was connected to Texas so it wouldn't be so hard to get to.
"So are you planting fake wheat in Africa?"
This makes more sense if you know what my thesis is about (which I will gladly explain to anyone!)- but no they don't plant any wheat where I'm going.
"So are you super excited?"
YES! I wish I was already over there now sitting in a coffee shop typing this.
