He is to Good!

I nicknamed him Potato!



having a job in the U.S. and working in a foreign country are two separate things. While they both have similar parts and origins, doing missionary work is completely different than having a job.






Some might say that missionary work is a job, in fact, I might even say that. Getting up every morning realizing your in a different country, doing something that five years ago you wouldn't even consider doing, loving people who absolutely need it, and giving God the glory is in my opinion the greatest job in the world.
Thank you everyone who has made this possible. I appreciate all the encouragement and love that has been given.

Getting the Train rolling!

Adjustment... the dictionary says the definition of adjustment "harmony achieved by modification or change of a position." Those words may look few but in fact that has been the definition of my life the past few months.

Coming to a new base would be a challenge in its own right, but coming to a new base overseas is a completely different kind of beast. You deal with culture changes, adjusting to people, new physical lifestyle and different ministry opportunities. I thought about those things and pushed them aside and said "God is bigger, and He has me here for a reason."

I have been here for three months now and I am happy to say, I love Africa. Adjusting well should actually be in my job description, probably my biggest problem would be trying to figure out my roll at the base and what He has me doing, but I feel like he is just telling me "wait".

Looking back on the past year and a half, man God has me on a crazy ride, and it is just beginning.
