It is beautiful! other then the spiders in my bed and on my walls, and the cocroaches crawling up the toilet, the hosue we are staying at is beautiful, and it is very comfortable! we have running water! (which wont be the case when we go to Gorongosa). Last night we went to this resuraunt on the beach. It was a little hut, and the food was good, but the view was AMAZING! biera is SO beautiful!! today was independence day. There have been prades and rallys all morning! it has been really interesting! my team has melded great so far! they are all great, and i am excited to get to know them more, and to grow with them, and serve with them... ALSO!! all of our luggage got here!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! so things are awesome! and the lord has been so good. WE are at the missionaries hose now for lunch. We will eat and then head to the beach for team building. Tommaorow we head for Gorongosa.

18 hours to go

In 18 hours i head to Mozambique! This is both exciting and scary!! i am so grateful for everyone that has supported me! This is going to be an adventure of a life time! i will be doing just a little of the much work Food for the hungry is doing! i am simply growing seeds. Hoping to bring together a community and show them Christ!

There are a few things you can pray for me about as i approach my time!
pray for safety, in travel as well as in country!
pray for health.
Pray for a quickness of melding for me and my team who will be meeting tomorrow.
Pray that all our luggage will get there. We have 6 flights till i get to Biera Mozambique, and so thats a lot of opportunities for lost luggage.
And most importantly pray for the people of Gorongosa, pray that God is preparing their hearts now. Don't underestimate the power of Prayer and how much your prayers can affect our ministry! God is huge, and he works through our prayers!

Thank you all for being apart of my journeys!! please keep me in your prayers! you will all be in mine!!

In office...

Not much to say yet. I got this for Mozambique, which i leave for in 8 days!! so soon! and i am SO ready. The Lord is teaching me so much..even just sitting in an office... lets restart....
Last Monday i started my internship at Food for the Hungry. Orientation was awesome! and i love the other interns! This is them....



So anyways, im working in an office with Josh Kienzle who is super fun and cool! it has been a blast. I am doing a project of making a new hand out for the short term teams. Specifically i am making the country specific guides, full of information as well as missionary bios and the work FH does in the country.
It is boring at times, i am not gonna lie, but being in the office is fun. I love the people here and i love doing something that makes a difference.
ALSO going to orientation and hearing all about Africa, and hearing from the interns who are in fact in Africa, makes me so excited to go!
i pray God makes it evidently clear what he wants me to do in my life!
i also pray he will bless my time here and on the feild!
i know he is exactly where he wants me RIGHT now, and thats an awesome feeling to have!!
