Oo We're half way there!

Hi everyone!

Two weeks down! The trip so far has really been amazing, and I have learned a lot. Last night we showed the Jesus film in Old Naledi. There were roughly about 1,000 people there. It was incredible, and it was SOOO cold. When they say it’s winter in Africa, they mean it! A nine year old girl who is 9 sat in my lap for the last half of the movie and she just shivered. I felt so bad. She was in a skirt and long sleeve coat. It really hits you hard when you have a situation like that. All you want to do is give them all the clothes you have. But, they are such fun to hang out with. They call us ‘mocoa’ which means “white person”, so that cracks me up. I have just had such a good trip. I want to type all of my stories but I need to send more emails. Thank you for all the prayers!! They are definitely appreciated and felt. J Love you all!

Prayer requests: health, safety and for God to move on the UB. We will be spending next week there and ministering there.

Ps- Africans are relationship focused, not task oriented . . I love it!! I hope to bring that back when I come home.

All my love!

Here!!!

Africa is amazing! We come to the church and use their internet and phones. As of now we get to the church once a week. We are working with the children in Old Naledi at the feeding station. There is a little girl there, Ellie, and she is my little one. She clings to me each day, and I just love her. Over all this trip is going amazingly. God is doing so much in my life. Each day is exciting and new. I'm loving it!! When I get more time I will update more. But just know that we're loving it here, and it's been a life-changing experience. I am just so excited to be here, and feel so blessed to be here.

Love you all :)

Here I go!

Tomorrow is the day!! I can't believe the trip is actually here. I started this journey over a year ago, so I feel like I'm dreaming. I've learned a great deal already, I can't imagine all I will learn once we get started. Thank you all so much for reading this and praying for me and the team.
I am so excited to be re-united with the team! We had so much fun the last time we got together. I know they are going to be awesome people to travel with. I'll be writing again soon! Here we go!!
