Hey guys, I'm sad to say that I am leaving tomorrow. A week early because If I left on the regular day I was supposed to I would be back one day at home then move to college and start cheer two a days. Everytime I thought about it I got overwhelmed and so I am flying out tomorrow which is earlier than I wanted to leave but it will all work out and I feel like I am in God's will.
This week has been crazy and so much has been happening. The last 4 days I have been staying at the Moore's house which has been so much fun. I love their pet monkeys daisy and duke the second (the first duke was killed by their dog :( ) anyways... it has been a great week. I helped in so many different areas, 3 days ago I helped a group from fox river church from wisconsin out at bomani school with medical and dentistry. Let me tell you sitting in a room with a dentist and a kid holding them down while they get their teeth pulled is not fun at allll. But what was fun was teaching the about a 100 kids how to brush their teeth. The sad thing about it was when I would ask them to take their toothbrush out of their baggies... they had no idea what to do because most of them didn't even know what a tooth brush was! It was sad that they didn't know but is good that they know now and hopefully they will be using their toothbrushes from now on.
I got to spend some time with the kids at Mtepeni, and it was sad to say goodbye to all of them. I will miss them all so much. I will miss Pastor Nzarro, Jackson, and Justin. But I will be back I'm sure of it.
Today was interesting because Lisa and I had to take care of a little girl from the school who had a 103 fever and was soo sick and was throwing up at school. We were trying to cool her down and reduce her fever with medicine.. but everything we would give her she threw back up so I got to watch lisa give her a shot to help her. It was very interesting and a new experience under my belt haha.
Another great part of today was that I got to give baby clothes that I had bought prior to the trip to twin babies that were 3 months old that their father had passed away when they were only a week old. They were so precious and tiny and momma was so grateful for everything. After her husband died she was left with 5 children. all under the age of 5... she has a 5,4,3 and 2 3 month olds. And even her health is not doing too well. So send prayers for her family and that the oldest daughter anna will help her momma out as much as she can.
I have been so truly blessed on this trip all though it was cut short. I accomplished everything I wanted to do..
I found me and who I want to be and what is important in my life. God has shed all the bad limbs from my tree. and I am growing every day.
Continue your prayers for me because when I fly into London I will have to fly on standby from london back to the states.
So pray I get on a flight, and that I am confident and will conquer all the airports I must go through by myself.
I don't really know how many people have read this blog but I thank you guys for reading and being apart of my life in whichever way you have.
Like the africans always say. God is good.. all the time... and all the time... God is Good.
and always remember hakuna mungu cama wewe- there is NO ONE like our GOD!
