I have arrived in Charlotte for Orientation!! Today was pretty touch leaving behind my family and friends. My brother says everyone is crying like I"m not coming back. But, I'll be back in 6 months! Tonight I will meet some of the other short term missionaries with SIM and have a session or two. Tomorrow starts the long days of conferences and meetings. It should be exciting to finally know a little more. Thank you all for your prayer of safe travel to Charlotte. I will update you later when I have a little more to say!

Quick Update

It's Sunday and tonight is the commissioning service at church. I leave in 3 days and it is beginning to seem surreal. I can not believe I will be in Africa in 7 days!! That being said, there are a few updates to mention. I have raised all my support and then some. About 4000 over the needed amount. The orphanage is great need of some essentials and the extra money will be used to provide those things ( i.e. a water purifier, a water trap, school fees, etc.). I am still a little uncertain about my specific duties but I am trying to remain open to whatever the Lord would have me do. I have added a webpage link of a short video about the Bethesda Children's Home and can't wait to add more pictures and information about the ministry. Thank you all for joining me in prayer for the work of our Lord.
