Africa!

Holy, jumping beans, people!
I am going!

Yes, that's right, I've been hoping, and praying, and even struggling, and doubting... but I am going back to Africa this summer. And incidentally... I am dragging my little sister along... and possibly... :) Yeah, I am supper stoked!

So, you all want to know what I am going to be doing?
Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway! Working with a really awesome ministry called Village of Hope Uganda. (btw, you should buy some of the orphan's beads! they are absolutely beautiful!) Everything from working with the orphans at the safehouse with medical recordkeeping, to working with local nurses in the IDP camps, to getting down and dirty with construction work on the land for the Village of Hope. I am so looking forward to what God looks to do through this summer! Ah, man, I can't tell you how excited I am! Whew... calm down, Jo!

So, my request is that you all keep me and my sister in your prayers! I know we'd appreciate it a lot! (and my parents too, cause they are having a hard time letting two of their daughters run off to deep, dark Africa!)
And especially for the people that we get to interact with. That they would feel God's love through us. Even that we would have opportunities to share our faith with the kids, and refugees in the camps. And that we would be able to work hard and diligently at all we do, knowing we are working for the Lord!
