This is catherine's mom, Frances hoping that I can update catherine's blog for her while she is away. Someone asked me if I was worried about her going on the mission trip to Kenya. I quickly said, "oh no, Catherine has been to Africa on two other mission trips. I did all my worrying the first time she went.". Truth is, I am worried about her. She can only send 50 free text messages before she starts getting charged. She does not get charged if you send her a text, only if she goes over 50. Anyway, I told her to only text me every other day. She texted when she landed and send me a pic of her on the plane. Then, today she said they still had not received their luggage. Everything was lost. She said a woman that was very poor and her home recently burned, heard of them not getting their luggage and went to buy them clothing. These were catherine's words.
"crazy how people here have nothing yet are so willing to give. Makes you appreciate everything.". Wow! This reminded me of the poor woman in the Bible who put all she had into the offering. I remember that story being told so often as a child. Catherine had asked for prayers that they will soon receive their luggage. One of her bags was filled with medical supplies and I know the town needs the supplies more than they need their clothing.
Anyway, back to why I'm worried. She sent me another text later and said she has been throwing up and cannot keep anything down. They are taking her to the doctor. All her food is in her suitcase, so I'm sure this is not helping. Anyway, please say prayers for her bags to arrive and for her to get well so she can do God's work. Thank you all for prayers, support and for your love while she is away. I'll update again when I have word.
In His name,
Frances
