Well it's 5:03 PM and we are officially done with ministry and everything we came to do.
It's so crazy being in this place. Our two weeks in Kenya are over and in 6 short hours, we will board a plane for home.
Devastated is putting it lightly.
The beautiful thing about being this heavy hearted is that it must mean that God has given me a burden for not only missions but Kenya. I have met without a doubt the most amazing people on the planet here and I know our relationship won't end with this. But it doesn't make the sadness any sweeter. Coming back a second time was SUCH a blessing because I never even thought I would come to Africa in the first place. God is so incredibly faithful in His love for me. I literally have been planning this trip for a YEAR and now it's over. I never thought this day would come slash I never wanted it to.
My heart is so heavy right now....I know that's very clear but I just can't emphasize it enough. I am literally on the verge of tears every 5 minutes. God has done things on this trip that I never expected and I am so unbelievably grateful to the people of Kenya for showing me what it really means to follow Jesus.
I can't write much more without crying but when I get home I promise to be an open book so you will come with me next year :) thank you to everyone who helped me get here!
Hating goodbyes,
Crissy
About Me
- Crissy Cano
- Hi my name is Crissy Cano and in the summer of 2010, God captured my heart by sending me to Africa. While I had been on multiple mission trips before, I never truly understood God's calling on my life until I went to Kenya and Uganda that summer. I have chosen to spend my life serving God by loving His people all around the world. I believe that as Christians we are called to show love and hope to the orphaned, the poor and the people that the world says "aren't good enough." I'm not exactly sure what my life will look like but you are more than welcome to journey with me as I figure that out.
