Please Pray

Hello Everyone. This is a request, not on behalf of myself, but on behalf of some very good friends of mine, and my family, their names are Ryan and Amber Morgan, and their daughter is Kyleigh. A few days ago, Kyleigh (who is not yet 2) was taken to hospital because she was vomitting and very sick. Shortly after she was rushed to Sick Kids in Toronto, because of Pressure on her brain. Before they could even figure out what was causing the pressure, they had to do an operation to relieve the pressure, it went okay. Then they ran an MRI and found, what they are saying is a non-cancerous tumor in an inoperable spot on her brain. They are having (or might have already done it) to do a surgery to insert tubes to re-route the fluid so that the pressure does not build up again, and i am assuming that they are running more tests on the tumor. Basically it is not looking very good right now. I wanted to ask all of you to please pray for Kyleigh, she needs a supernatural touch from God. As well, please keep Ryan and Amber in your prayers, and this is a devestatingly hard time for them. Thank- you, i really appreciate it. The more people praying the better. I have included some pictures of Kyleigh and one of Ry and Amber. I will try and keep you updated.

Thanks Again.

God Bless,

Birthday Fun In Kenya

Well My birthday was on sunday and it was good.

....oh sorry! - you wanted more detail????haha :)

well....i celebrated my birthday on saturday with some friends, we went to a movie and then at night a bunch of people came over, (which was a surprise to me) and they had a cake for me, and it was really nice. Just a good time of hanging out with friends. I will put some pictures up. :)

other than that, i am doing okay. Now i say only okay, because the last few days have not been the easiest of my time away. i have felt very home sick lately for some reason. More home sick than any other time on my trip, and i'm not sure why. Everything here is great, so it doesn't really make sense, but maybe it's not supposed to. I would however really appreciate your prayers, and also please pray that i beat this awful cold i have! i don't feel the best at all. Thanks in advance. i know that this will pass, and i'll be back to having a blast in Kenya ( not that i'm not....) but it is just hard to go through.

anyway, so i am 19 now. i have officially begun my last year of my teens. crazy. for me they went by very quickly. It wasn't a bad experience though. i really enjoyed my teens, i have had so many opportunites, and friends, and experiences that i know know many people don't have. i feel SO blessed. i look forward to what this next year will hold, as i continue to trust Jesus.

well i unfortunately have to go. i am hoping to update this thing a little more frequently!!! so bug me if i don't!

love you all

ps- so there is a group pic (but not everyone is in it..), one of me and my cake, and one of me and Christa my roomy:)

oh man.........long time no write....

WOW! it has been forever!! i am so sorry. but i have been very busy, and without access to computer or internet for a while. but i am back! i hope that everyone is doing well and had a very nice christmas and a happy new years!!! it's 2007!!! wow. that's hard to believe.

well i had a very nice holiday. i went up to Kisii and of course that's in my previous blog, then i went to Germany for two weeks to visit my friend Anika. (Who i met in Canada a year and a half ago when she came to stay and go to school for 6 months). It was really nice to see her. I spent Christmas there with her family, and it was really nice. Very odd not to be with my family, it didn't quite feel like christmas, but it was nice nonetheless. But i did miss kenya! i was so happy to be"home" when i got back. :) i missed everyone from here, and just everything. it's odd what you get used to. and it was nice to be back in the warm weather! i was cold the whole time in germany!!!!!!!!!! (what will i do when i come back to canada????!!! LOL) Now i am just preparing to start a new semester here at PAC. and i am very excited. i am anxious to get into a routine again. and it is awesome to see everyone back at the school. This term i have two days off i'm pretty sure, where i have no classes, so i am hoping one of the days to work in the Infant Orphanage and the other, to go with Christa (a teacher here) to her school in the slums and help her with the students there. so i am very excited about both of those things!

well i can't seem to think clearly right now about what i wanted to write about, so i will write more this coming week, so be on the lookout!!!

love you all!
