Do not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time you will reap a harvest

“Do not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time you will reap a harvest.” Before I came on this trip my dad reminded me of this verse, and little did I know how true it would be. The last four months me and our team have worked, sweated, stepped out of our comfort zone, eaten nasty food, had joy, and struggled. We have fought spiritual, mental and physical battles. We have been sick, and healthy. We have gone on little and a lot of sleep. We have been on a bus ride from the grave. We have been afraid, yet courageous… Sick, but strong…...

AIM- I want my money back

This program was created to rip your heart out and tear it into tiny little pieces! Tomorrow is my last day in Lira, Uganda. I thought about writing a blog post about all of the great things God has done in just 4 short months. But every time I sit down to write it, I start crying. I was put together with 12 other people from all over the USA and Canada, forced to live with them for 4 months in a country where we're are only support system, then quickly torn apart! This is awful. I was going to end my blog there, but I then I remembered I wanted to ask something of all of you who are...

Hello everyone! We are winding down our time here in Uganda. We leave Lira a week from this Friday. From here we will head to Jinja for a few days to do some white water rafting and to wind down a bit. Then from Jinja we will drive to Entebbe for our flight back to the states. It’s sad that it is so close to being over but we have had a great time here and have done so many amazing and fun things and have made relationships with the most amazing people. Lira is a place I’ll never forget and I hope that I can return again someday. The weather has been hot for the most...

I had a whole other blog planned and I had a lot more meaningful things to say. But as I sat here to type it out, and thought about the fact that as of today, I only have 13 days left in Uganda, I suddenly had nothing to say except how much I am going to miss this place and these people. So here is a non-inclusive list of some of the things I will miss. This doesn’t even scratch the surface, but it’s a start. I really feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she is leaving Oz to go home to Kansas. Part of me wants to go...

This is life in Africa!

Well the last couple of weeks have been really good! Just thought I’d give an update on what we did they have looked like and how things are going. We performed a love song medley and did a dance at our Friend’s Sam & Doreen’s wedding. Only in Africa, would this happen haha.. And there is a wedding this upcoming Saturday, and they asked us to do a song and a dance too! Just call us the wedding singers! Esther is doing ok.. She still needs prayers, so keep on praying! Her weight has not increased much and she is not really eating much food at all. Her chest is hurting...

There’s no place I would rather be!

"There's no place I'd rather be than here in your love". These are the lyrics I was listening to monday morning. As I sit on my bed, swaying side to side, thriving in pain from a burning sensation in my stomach, tiered from being sick all night, worshiping the Lord because there was really nothing else I could do; tears began to stream down my face. My teammates asked what was wrong and I somehow blubbered out, "I'm just so happy". Now that's a funny thing for a person to say when they're suffering from "the malaria". But I was. I didn't...
