I have experienced a lot of irony and surprises in terms of my support (spiritually, emotionally, and financially) for Kenya. One ironic thing has been receiving my support. The individuals and families that I expected to support me the most have not. And the individuals and families that I never expected to support me have done so abundantly. Maybe ironic is not the best word.

This is what I know... I have felt an overwhelming crowd of people surround me in this adventure. There are faces in that crowd that I have known for years. There are faces in that crowd that I have just recently met. And there are faces in that crowd that I do not know at all. And more, there are faces that are missing from the crowd; faces that I wanted to be a part of this adventure that took no interest.

But nevertheless, I am in no lacking of support. I cannot express my gratitude to the people who have decided to journey with me to Kenya. My supporters: You have promoted my interests and causes for this summer. You will be my advocate while I am gone. You have assisted and helped me get there. I can act in Nairobi because of you. You have bid in bridge so as to show me support. You have provided for the basis of my existence in Kenya. You serve as my foundation. You have kept from me fainting, yielding, or losing courage. You have been my comfort which has kept me going these past few months. ACC has contributed much to all of these things.

Support. I thank you endlessly. Can you dig that?
