So soon!

So as I’ve mentioned before, I’m moving to Africa so soon! I kind of feel like a crazy person with all the things I have to do and loose ends I need to tie up... not to mention packing. But I’m so excited to get to Nakuru and be a part of God is doing there. I’ve felt God calling me to international missions for a long time, and now He’s opened the doors to Nakuru, Kenya and is clearly leading me there to share the Gospel and love my far-away neighbors. I’m moving with a sweet family, and we will be working with His Cherished Ones International Ministry. AKA I basically get to play with way cute babies all the time. Holla! But my main focus will be serving the Thomas family so they can be more effective in their ministries... so like maybe cooking (they don’t really have good cheese and their milk is boxed and comes in flavors like bubblegum and banana... what’s a girl to do?) and helping around the house. And maybe helping out with homeschooling? Maybe not, I failed a math class in high school. But most importantly, this means I get to wear leggings and a top knot all day every day, my dream come true! ;)

Things to pray for:

- Packing. I know that sounds trivial, but it’s causing me a lot of stress.
- Smooth adjustments to culture shock and to living in a different home with a different family.
- Comfort, peace, and a clear mind to hear the Lord’s voice without petty distractions/annoyances/homesickness.
- God’s provision for financial support. I am not going through a missions organization and am therefore responsible for raising my own support. The Thomases are very generously covering some of the costs I would otherwise be responsible for (hello, free place to live!), but I am still estimating that I will need $10,000 - $12,000 for the first year, and I am still about $3,000 short of that amount.
