Dexter left a few minutes ago to catch his flight in Nairobi! It has been a long, long journey to get us to this point, but the end is finally here. It is hard to believe that at this time last week he didn't even have a ticket to the US yet. (And, it took ten hours to book that ticket. Drama.)
On Monday he has his interview at UMDNJ, and on Tuesday his Bench Test which is a clinical test of his skills. Fortunately they told him exactly what he'd be asked to do, so he's been preparing and practicing. There are about 16 people total who will be interviewed and tested those days. I don't know about him, but I would be a nervous wreck! He is fortunate that he has been doing dentistry for a long time now, and has worked with an American dentist for most of that time...he's already familiar with the American equipment, which I think gives him a leg up on the others. Please continue to pray that all goes well and smoothly for him those two days.
UMDNJ starts in March which, in case you are not aware, is in five months. If we get accepted we'll have a lot to do in a short period of time! I can't quite wrap my mind around it just yet.
Kyalo and I are home alone for a full week. We have some activities planned to fill the days, but the evenings can be quite long (and lonely!) so pray for us that we get along, and that it all goes well.

I'm feeling a particular bond with Dexter since we both have Bench events in our lives! . . .
