We will be that city on the hill burning brightly.

Learning to be the light in Africa looks different to me each day. Learning that you are called for missions is a hard thing to except. Being back home you get caught up in the American way and just the comforts of home. I absolutely love mission’s work and right now I feel like that’s my calling. My heart is torn between Haiti and Africa and one day I hope many more places. I am coming to realize I would love to start an organization that works in many places bring the love of Jesus Christ and bring hope. Right now we are working on a few different projects in the village that will improve their living and help make the village self-sustainable. And I’m excited to be a part of the planning and hopefully the out come. Because this is the part of missions I’m most excited about, being able to plan something and raise the money for it and be there when it is built and put in place.

Each day in the village usually looks a little different. We are getting into a routine but each day does not always go as we planned. The other day we had to go into town and buy malaria medication because the clinic at the village ran out and we had a few kids with malaria, who needed the medicine that day. Or giving money, to get the bathhouse fixed, or leaving the village at 11pm because you need to take a mom and son to the hospital. Africa is turning out to be way different then I thought. You always go into something thinking you will get one thing out of it but usually you get many things you never thought possible. Africa is challenging me in more ways then I thought possible but I am learning to love those moments because they seem to happen a lot and all I can do is except then and learn from them. Learning to be the light to me also means loving on the kids and poring into them as much as possible. Some kids in the village are orphans and some are boarding students and some live in the village with their mothers. Its hard to see life through their eyes, but the more I spend time with some of them my heart breaks for what they have to go through. But I'm loving every minute of being here. :)

Loving this verse right now. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:13

me and molly :)

There is more to come about some of the projects we want to accomplish be for we leave. We need lots of prayers and also we are going to need sponsors for some of the stuff.
