Get Ready...

...because I have from a semi-reliable source that there are more bags on the way!
I've been here in Kenya's capital city of Nairobi for almost three weeks now, which is at least closer to my desert than Hutchinson is. Though I'm not able to take the trip up to Lodwar this time (too much work here and not enough potential travel accompaniment), hopefully the bags will come to me.
A few weeks back, I let the pastor of the church know that I'm able to take a suitcase loaded with a new batch of handbags back to the States with me. Apparently that news was received with alacrity. He told me that yesterday the women came to the church to bring what they had sewn, and there were way more bags than I can handle on this trip. !
So try to handle the suspense and anticipate with me another round of prayerfully-sustainable enterprise for these ladies and their families.
