Wow! I cannot believe it! We are down to the last wire of our trip. Two weeks left in Lira, ½ a week in Jinja, then 3 days of traveling and Georgia and I will be home. The last four months have literally flown by. It is such a bittersweet feeling for me. Lira has truly become home for me, but I am also super excited to see all my family and friends whom I miss so, so much. Anyways, as you saw the title of this blog is when the going gets tough, God’s grace gets going. I want to explain, I know God’s grace is always working and never ending. What I am specifically...

If you know me, you most likely know that while my birth certificate says I am 19 years old I'm a lot closer to 5 years old. I like to play, laugh, sing, dance, climb, jump, ect. This week was the perfect week for a 5 year old- the rain came. Now, to most people that would be annoying- you have to walk through rain and mud where ever you go (not to mention all the bugs). But to me, it is the most wonderful thing! I love the coolness. I love the sound it makes on my tin roof. I love listening to the thunder and watch the lightning light up the sky. I love to play. Something you should...

4….3…..2…..1…. Finish! Hey everyone! So this week I want to blog about 4 things because they are all standing out in my mind. 4. I will start with Easter weekend here in Lira. Friday through Sunday this week past week was a crazy busy time. It reminded me much of my church at home. We had a Good Friday service, time to chill on Saturday, then Sunday service. My team and I worked on 4 songs that we sang for the Good Friday service, such an awesome time of worship! And one of the girls painted a picture while we sang. It was a great time of worship and...

Last week I wrote about my experiences with a man named Jaspher and how he came to faith in Christ. Since then Carrie-Anne, Makyla, Darby, Logan and I went back to his home to visit him, but found out that he had been arrested for something – his wife was somewhat flustered and when she explained why he was arrested she said something about him preaching to people which we didn’t really understand, but then ultimately said he was arrested for idling. She was going to visit him in prison, so we sent her with my Bible and an encouraging note to read while in...

Haha. Ha. Ok. So this past week has been filled with great and exciting things 😀 I’m not really good with social boundaries… I typically act wildly offensive because I don’t really know when a joke has gone too far, and at times have difficulty understanding the concept of “TMI”. So if this entry is semi inappropriate…apologies. But it’s too entertaining…at least to me…not to share. So last Friday, Mary and I found Dr. Henry who works at the hospital we visit and who knows we’re going to nursing school...

Stitches, Skits, and Salvation!

Well, the good news is that I have officially crossed being a nurse off of my list of possible occupations that I could have in my life. The bad news is that I had to give a poor innocent African man stitches in his hand in order to figure that out. So here’s the story, last week Dr. Henry had told me that I could help assist him in surgery the next time I was at the hospital. However, last Monday, there were no surgeries occurring because it was a holiday. Then as I was visiting patients in the male surgical ward, Dr. Henry...
