Well...only 3 days until I hop on a plane and head over to Egypt. I'm getting very excited! I can't wait to see the Wiebes and visit everyone in Kibaale! But at the same time I'm a little nervous flying by myself to a place I've never been before :S
I've just started to pack, laying out all my clothes and getting things ready to take to my sponsor children. If you have any small letters or envelopes you would like me to take for your sponsor child, feel free to swing by my house and drop them off. I leave this upcoming Tuesday, October 20th at around 5:30pm so anytime before that would be great!
Just a note, we're having an open house/appetizer night at my house this upcoming Monday, October 19th at 6:00pm. Feel free to pop in anytime to visit. Just a chance to say goodbye :)
Please keep me in your prayers as my departure date approaches faster. Prayer for safety and smooth travels would be much appreciated. Thank you!

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!
