A few more months to go...

Hey Everyone! Thanks so much for checking out my new blog. Basically I created one for those of you who would like to stay tuned as to what I will be doing over the next couple of months as I travel to Africa on missions.

I will be leaving on October 20th. I will arrive in Egypt where I will meet up with the Wiebe family. The Wiebe's have five children and feel like a second family to me. Their daughter Erin is one of my best friends, and we had the privilege of traveling to Uganda with our school during spring break of 2009. It was the best two weeks of our lives and definitely a life changing experience, that's why we're SO excited to be heading back!

We will be in Egypt for about a week; visiting the pyramids, riding camels...you know the usual :)
Then we'll hop on a plane and travel to Uganda. Here we will stay at the Kibaale Community Center where we'll visit with staff and students. We'll also participate in the classrooms and assist in jobs around the campus. We will be in Uganda for about 3 weeks, and then we'll head over to South Africa. When I'm there I will be helping the Wiebes get settled as they are planning to stay there for a minimum of two years. I will help Mrs. Wiebe with home schooling and looking after the little ones, as well as volunteering at the nursery. And as for the rest, well I guess we'll have to wait and see what the Lord has planned. Thanks for your prayers, keep in touch!
