First off: Jesus is just so stinkin' amazing.
This whole living in community thing has been much harder and much more amazing than I had anticipated. And we haven't even gotten to Uganda yet! I'm learning how to get alone time while not actually being alone. It's quite an art.
Training camp has exceeded my expectations-mainly because I didn't know what to expect- but it's been awesome. In the last 72 hours I have gotten to know these twelve people with more than depth that I have with people I've known for months. We've laughed (to the point of crying and peeing our pants), cried, danced, had very interesting conversations, worshiped, painted, prayed, encouraged and prophesied with each other. It feels like we're getting a taste of how Jesus intended people to live and work together…I can't even imagine what it will be like in Uganda.
God is showing/changing me more than I can say in the short time I have to write this…He is so faithful to be more than enough in every moment. I'm learning to rely on Him to a much deeper level. And yes, again, we're not even in Uganda yet! Haha. All of your prayers for us as we fly out tomorrow and over the next four months are greatly appreciated! We don't take for granted this incredible opportunity that is set before us and we cannot, seriously- cannot wait.
One of the things I've learned living in close community with people (or at least close proximity) is that I talk in my sleep. A lot. Like, panicked screaming for a flashlight in the middle of the night and other such things. Some things I would rather never have learned…
Until next time,
Carrie-Anne
