Almost time to go!

Well Christmas has come and gone and time has come closer as usual. I enjoyed my time back home with my family and will miss them dearly when I am gone. I will be boarding my plane to Africa in only 26 days! It's starting to be a little more real to me and I am getting pretty excited:) Sounds like Annie and I will be staying with a nice couple from Red Deer only a few streets from Wilma & Sylvia's place. I am looking forward to staying there and getting to know this couple. By the sounds of it, things will be pretty busy when we're out there! We are going to be working hard at re-registering the Children's Home in these coming months. Wilma and Sylvia are doing such wonderful work out there and am excited to be able to work along with them for a short period of time. As for now, I got another 2.5 weeks left of work here in Grande Prairie. I've got pretty much everything in order for the big trip, and received about half of my support. God is good and I trust Him to take care of me as He has already done. Thanks again for all your prayers and support!

63 days in counting!

Well I'm not so good at keeping up with this whole blog thing, but I plan to keep things more regular once I've left the country. It's hard to believe it's only 2 more months until I leave.. time is creeping up rather fast! Before I know I will have been there and back already!! CrAzY! Things seem to be gradually coming together for my trip and I am full of emotions.. excitement, fear and all! I really look forward to seeing how things have improved at the children's home over the past couple years as well as seeing all the children again:) Right now, things are quite busy for me. I'm still working my two jobs, so I don't always get a whole lot of sleep or regular nutrition. Oh well, I just gotta keep working hard until I leave. At least I enjoy my jobs:) But I guess that's all I got for now!

Well I guess I am new at this whole blogspot thing, but I'm sure I will get the hang of it sooner or later! Just to fill all of you in, I am currently living in Grande Prairie and have been here for the past year and 5 months. I really enjoy it here. I attend a wonderful church where I am also involved in Children's Ministries. I have a great job and a bunch of awesome friends here. For those of you who don't already know, I will be heading back to Lesotho, Southern Africa in January for 6 months, joining Wilma & Sylvia. I am really looking forward to it and I know the time will arrive quickly! I am super excited to see the children again and also see how things have changed at the children's home since 2006. I pray that God will use me in every way possible. Your prayers as I prepare to go and as I am out there will be greatly appreciated:) I guess thats it for now!
