Booked my flights to Uganda today!! My sister-in-law and I leave on May 22nd! I am beyond excited to join International Voice of the Orphan for the first 9 days of my summer!

We will be building a playground for a special needs orphanage, loving on babies, visiting many orphanages in the area, and working with street kids. 

Please join me in praying that the rest of the funds come in soon.

Next Steps

So, I've been home a month now and I've been praying about what God has for me next. It's been a very stressful and challenging time, missing my friends and trying to plan my future. God has been so faithful even though I wasn't willing to truly give everything up and of course it was a struggle to just plan everything on my own and not really involve Him. But, even through all this He has given me the desires of my heart! He is an amazing Heavenly Father, by the way! Tomorrow I go back to work at a daycare that I was working at before I moved to Wisconsin. I will work there until the Fall when I will go back to nannying for the family I was with before (they had another little one, so I will be watching 3 boys now). And I will have even have next summer off, so I'm hoping to do more mission work at that time. I am so excited to be working with these people again! I am thankful I get to continue to build relationships with them and tell them about what God has done in my life in the past 7 months! I am so blessed! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements throughout this time!
