Wonderful Visits and Final Goodbyes

The last six weeks have been an amazing time of connecting and re-connecting to people that have been and continue to be the largest source of strength in my life. It has been a long month of goodbyes, but I have felt God present and helping me prepare in so many small ways.

In just a few hours I will be on a plane above the Atlantic on my way to South Africa. I am so excited and blessed to be at this place in my life and in my heart. I am learning how to let the excitement and grief mingle and be at peace with all the unknowns. I am so grateful to have all of you in my life. I arrive in Cape Town late on 7/25, I will try to post as soon as I can once I've arrived and got some sleep.

Friends and Family

Hello.

Thank you for visiting my page, I am glad you are here. I will be writing about my work and learning as I live with the people of Kayamandi, South Africa for the next two years. I am hopeful that these posts will help everyone stay informed and engaged while I am away.

Currently, I am visiting family as I make my way to Washington D.C. where I will depart for Cape Town on the 24th of July. From there I will be in training through the third week of October and then transition to full-time work in Kayamandi.

Feel free to comment or ask questions here on my blog and I will do my best to respond quickly. You may also visit www.Kuyasa.givengain.org for more information on the work being done in Kayamandi.
