Where did the time go?

Has it really been 3 weeks already? Time has gone by so fast and I am sad to say that I will be leaving Kenya on Friday. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family and friends but there is so much more I want to do here!
I have been patterning like crazy...designing like crazy...training the ladies on basic patterning skills and grading. I have been fitting and resizing...I became the "photographer" for a day. I have been stitching and stitching and stitching...I have been doing everything I love but what has been the greatest is getting to know the women, talking to them laughing with them, hearing there stories and seeing God working in there lives.
I am very blessed to worked closely with Dorcas the past few weeks. Dorcas is in charge of the clothing department at Amani Ya Juu and has done a wonderful job. Together we have created so great items that I hope will be available to the public soon! (there is a glimpse of one of the creations, it is a simple design but the fabric is what makes it, and yes those are chicken...I think I may have to buy it for myself)
I hope to write more about the women's lives and all my experiences but they will have to wait for now because I have SO much to do!
Well back to work...
P.S. If you are wondering when I am planning to return to Kenya the answer is as soon as I get support funding. I am praying that it will be soon (a few months maybe?)
My mom told me If its Gods will then its Gods bill : )
Also, again thank you to everyone who has supported me for this short trip! you are a blessing.

    Are you sure you can't stop in Michigan on your way home so you can join the Jones bunch at reunion time??? Sounds like you are packing 6 months of work into a few weeks - bet you'll be exhilarated and tired beyond measure when you get back! Love, Laverne
