We are leaving Kenya for two weeks to go back to Canada for a visit.
My (Andrea) cousin Bobbi passed away unexpectedly on Monday. We really felt like we needed to go home and spend time with family and be there for her funeral. This is so hard for me to deal with and to even imagine that it's really happening. She and I grew up together and have SO many memories. I have been in a state of shock ever since we got the news.
This all feels so strange and it's hard to just go with it...we had not planned on leaving Kenya for another couple of months, and now have been frantically planning our visit home in a very short time. But we do feel peace that this is the right thing for us to do, and we are thankful that we are able to make this work. Thanks so much to our families for helping us out in this way.
Please pray for Bobbi's family as they go through this tremendously difficult time. Pray for her husband, Justin, as this is something nobody should ever have to go through. They need your support. So please remember them in prayer.
Pray for us too, as we fly out of Nairobi tomorrow morning, and land in Grande Prairie on Thursday afternoon. Pray for safety and for good flights and transitions.
Above all, please just pray that God would be glorified in this situation.
Thank you.

If her husband ever wants to talk to someone walking this road at almost the same time, let me know.
