My name is Penny Gaschler. Kenya will be my second mission trip, having already went to Nicaragua in 2016 with Dr. Horner. On this first mission trip I actually rediscovered my faith in God and found the people, places and stories inspiring. When not on mission or helping my elderly mother, I work full time at Gunbarrel Family Medicine as Dr. Horner's Medical Assistant. I find this work so rewarding and enjoyable that most days it feels as if I am not just going to work but rather following a path that was designed for me by God. I look forward to serving with everyone on this mission trip. Some people for the second time and other new friends in God. I request all to pray for my mother at this time as she is fighting a battle with lung cancer and COPD. She is very excited for me to take this trip and says she will be "living" it through me.

Dear, dear Penny. I'm so glad you are going to Kenya! I will be in Tanzania with another team at the same time, but I'll miss rooming and working with you. I have prayed for your mother. You are honoring God by caring so well for her. What a blessing you are. Much love to you, Colleen
