Being the change I wish to be!

       As I sit  here in Busia Kenya it is hard for me to realize that I am back and doing his work again. Before returning though I had different expectation for what it would look like this time because all I knew was my time before. I am here to tell you now that things are totally different. Ministry is different, living is different, food is different, and my place on this team is different.       I can definetly say that God knows how to fool me. I came back to the same city but a different place. This has been amazing to see...

The MZUNGU’s are here!!!

Well, we made it to africa! It took a long 30 something hours on planes and in airports, but we finally made it. Africa is so beautiful. Our first 2 days were spent in Nairobi in the most amazing hostel in the world. Its called the Milimani Backpacker, and I love it. Our days in Nairobi were limited to the hostel, and coffee shop down the street because of safety reasons. Interesting fact about Africa, when you order a coke they ask you if you want it hot or cold. I didn’t know people would actually choose to drink hot coke? I enjoyed every single minute of our time in Nairobi, and...

EAT FASTER!!!!!!

Our first full day here in Busia was a Sunday, which means church! After a long night Pastor told us we could sleep in and miss prayer from 6am to 7am which we were all thankful for. After getting ready to go to church we found out that 2 of us had to stay behind at the home to watch our stuff. Kim and I were the ones to volunteer. We were initially disappointed to miss our first experience at our new church, but the first thing we did was pray together, we prayed for our team, and we also prayed for good attitudes and we got them! We had such an awesome day here at the home. We had tea...

I Got Fleas

Ok, so I just lost y long blog I wrote cause the page exited and I only have a few minutes, so yall get the half-way decent short version.  Africa is awesome and beautiful! We got to see and go through The Great Rift Valley which was incredible! The plane rides to here weren't too bad, but after 24 hours, I was happy to be done flying. The hostel we stayed in in Nairobi was incredible! We had hot showers, toilets, beds, and awesome food.. And I got fleas. Yay! I made my first African friend there, Dan, and I helped him sweep and he taught me Swahili. The second night we were here...

God is so good.

Guess whose safe in Busia, Africa? I am! From our hostel in Nairobi we took a 9 hour bus ride to Deliverance church in Busia. I am staying at Pastor Gideons house along with 6 other girls and the 4 boys. The 7 girls stay in one room with 2 beds. 5 girls stay in the beds while we have one girl on the ground and one in her hammock. Its quite cozy with us all squished in there. I am in LOVE with the Kenyan people. Everyone is so happy and kind all the time. I got on the bus to Busia and there was a lady already sitting in the seat next to me. After we got to talking, I figured out that her...

Take a Step

I have taken many steps in my life. More than anyone can count. The most important steps in my life though have taken place most recently. I have taken a step to believe in God. I took another step. This step was a bit bigger. I answered His call to apply for this trip. The next step I took was second nature and that was saying yes to fully commit to raising money, packing up everything for two months, and fly to Africa with complete strangers. Every step that I have taken have led me here. AFRICA! Kenya to be exact. This step has changed all my future steps. If God wants me to do...
