It's here!!!!! I leave for Uganda tomorrow afternoon. (and because of last minute packing, I won't be able to blog tomorrow, so I'm doing it now) SO SO SO crazy. I can't believe it's here already. I'm super sad about leaving my staff behind. I'm going to miss my family for sure. But, I get this amazing opportunity to travel to Africa and share Christ's love. And for that, I can't wait. I'm so excited. My team of 10 beautiful women will be working in a children's home for three weeks. We'll also be doing some VBS (stories, games, music, and crafts) stuff in the community and possibly in some of the surrounding villages. Your prayers would be much appreciated. Please pray that we would completely empty ourselves and allow God to fill us while we are there. Pray that our team would be unified. Pray for protection and health. Pray that we would recognize opportunities and take them to show God's love to others. And pray that Christ would be glorified in everything that we do. I am so grateful for all of the people who have supported me financially. And I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for all of the people that I know are praying for me and my team.
I can't fully grasp the fact that within 24 hours, I'll be on a plane, flying to Africa. But, it's true. It's here!!!!
I'll be back in three weeks :)
P.S. Our team leader, Eydie, will be posting updates on our trip.(about every three days). You can find them here:
