It's not about us

We safely made it to DC this evening.  We learned that Ethiopian Airline travelers should tag on an extra hour to check in.  Who needed an extra hour of sleep?
Many of you have asked how to pray for us.  I've thought about our main prayer needs.  There really is a lot to say, but I think the most important thing that we need is to learn to adopt a "me last" attitude.  It's easy to go on these trips and wonder what the experience will be like, what one might learn and take home.  I don't want this trip to be about self improvement.  Sure, we will certainly be stretched and grow as physicians and followers of Christ, but this doesn't need to be our main objective.  Our desire is to be servants to the people that we are coming to in every way possible. 
Thanks for all your support!  Look forward to update you when we get to Kenya!!

  1. BJ and SB WARNING!!! We hope you know by now that there was and is an ongoing terrorist attack in Nairobi. The terrorist struck at the Westgate Mall, allowing all muslims to go, but killing all others on the spot. 39 dead and 150 hurt. Please be on the alert as we believe any place with a large population of non muslims (ie missions) are a target. Praying for your safety. Keep in touch and watch for state dept. alerts. Much Love, Mom and Dad E.
