Dear Friends and Family,
Thank you so much for your interest, support and encouragement for my trip to Kenya. It is hard to believe that it is the beginning of June already! Time is going so quickly and I am getting more and more excited for the trip!
As of right now, preparations are moving along! In April, I got my vaccinations and my passport just arrived in May! Those were two things I was glad to check off my list! At the end of April, Rachel and I had a garage sale to raise money for our trip and we raised nearly $1,500! We also got our flights booked. It is a wonderful feeling to have a specific date and time for our departure. In my first letter I spoke of us leaving in August, but plans have changed, so we are now leaving on July 19th! We will then arrive back in Omaha on August 26th. This adjustment worked better with our schedules and it will leave us with more time to prepare for the school year to start up in September. Also, I will now get to spend my 20th birthday in Kenya! J
Once again, I want to thank you all for the prayers, encouraging words, and financial support that has come my way thus far. As of June 1st, my trip is about 50% funded! If you feel led to support financially you may send money to Waypoint Church P.O. Box 31249 Omaha, NE 68131. If you would like to send money specifically towards my trip, please put "Lauren Schneider - Kenya" on the memo line.
I know my adventure to Kenya will be a life changing experience! Each day I am growing more and more excited! July 19th is going to be here before I know it! J As I am preparing to leave, I hope all is well with you and your families. Enjoy the beginning of this beautiful summer!
With Love,
Lauren
