I'm Engaged!

Please allow me to introduce you to the love of my life. This is William Kiprop (it sounds like skip-rope without the s). We plan to be married on December 15, 2007. Our wedding will take place in Kenya and we will have a traditional Kalenjin engagement ceremony the week before.

William and I met on my first trip to Kenya two-and-a-half years ago. My roommates from the Life Bible Team teased me about chemistry at that time. None of us had a clue that that special friendship would one day blossom into a deep love. William works for Empowering Lives International in Kipkaren. He is involved with agricultural education and has a huge heart for ministry. He has a gentle spirit and a servant's heart.

We are currently working on getting him a passport and visa so he can come to the USA to meet my friends and family. Please pray for us as this is quite an undertaking. Approximately 90% of the visa applications from Kenya to the US are rejected. So it is truly going to take an act of God to get him here. Thank you all for your prayers!!

Just checking out my blog referals (Music At Knife Point) and came across this.

Normally I would skip past most blogs, but I figure a marriage is worthy of congratulations.

Best of luck from a complete stranger. May your future be enveloped in happiness.

Congratulations on a love that's surely made in heaven. What a gift that must be!

I pray for you and your future together. Please be so kind as to tell me what organization will sponsor you as a medical missionary.

In Him, Friend Diane K.
