Well....I'm all done! I finished up at Rosslyn last week and it has been a week of catching up on lost sleep! It's been a refreshing time of lazing in bed and doing wedding things and just chilling.
I'm now in a new phase of existence...the phase where I have NO clue what's happening and not much ability to be 'in control'. So many factors are playing into my life and I feel like I'm on a giant spinning top, trying desperately to plant one foot on the ground and come to a halt!
At the moment I'm working on submitting my new work permit. A lot of paperwork and finding documents and writing things! I've been 'assured' by several people that it will all be fine with immigration, but prayers are needed that it will go smoothly.
It's also been interesting as I am trying to find a new house to live in. Everything seems to be so 'last minute' in Kenya. It seems difficult to book a house or a room in advance. So I've been searching safe areas. It's funny the things I'm looking for as I begin to rent a new house..."Does the house have a steady water supply?", "Does the house have a backup generator for when power is out?", "Is there an electric fence around the house?", "Is there security guards?", "Is the house on or off the main road?", "Will it be quiet?", "Is it safe to walk in the area?". So it's interesting to say the least. At this point I think I'm searching mainly for servants quarters/guest wings on other people's properties. This looks like the safest, most practical and affordable option. I have to move out at the end of this month- so I hope something great comes up soon. If anyone knows of anything available in Ridgeways/Runda/Spring Valley/Loresho/Kilimani/ Kileleshwa/ Ruaka?/ Westlands/ Any other area like this- please let me know! Asanteni.
We've also been working on our wedding plans. Things are slowly coming together, which is great and exciting! :) I can't WAIT to marry Teo soon!
Thanks for your support and continued prayers as I have 'stepped off the cliff- so to speak'. I know with all my heart that I've made the right decision to go back into the community and help the needy in this society. I'm really excited to get started with the boys soon. I have lots of ideas that I want to work on and implement so that the boys can grow to be loving, capable and fulfilled men of the future and present! My job will be a mixed one as I'll be helping wherever needed in both the centre and the school.
I am still in big need of one-off financial donations and monthly financial sponsors. If you or someone you know is willing and able to sponsor me to help these kids- please let me know! sjross77@hotmail.com or on facebook! Financial donations that come to me can be TAX-DEDICTIBLE for Aussie citizens through Genesis Aid (an organisation who I'm partnered with!). Thanks for considering!
Wishing you all the best for your winter/summer (wherever you may be!)
His blessings,
Sarah (with soon-to-be dusty feet again!!!)
