Uganda!

So, I'm going to Uganda this summer.

I will be going with a team of people from my parents church in Oregon -- and we will be partnering with Christian Life Church in Kampala, Uganda. We'll be setting up a medical clinic, bringing supplies, building a multi-purpose room, and conducting a VBS for the kids. The tenative dates of the trip are June 21 - July 9th.

I'm currently in the process of getting my visa and all my shots and vaccines -- and somehow this all doesn't really seem real to me (yet).

I had a really hard time with the decision whether or not to go. I'd be using up ALL my vacation days for the entire year -- and with the job I have its quite difficult to take a few days off -- let alone take a few weeks off. I waited until the last possible minute to make my decision, and I was a bit of a basket case because I had to figure out my plans in a matter of 8 hours. I thought about it, prayed about it, worried about it, etc -- and then I got this text message from a friend:

"Go to Uganda. Life will figure itself out."

Granted, many of my friends had been saying the same thing in many different ways -- but the truth of those words struck me. It will all work out. It always does.

So, that's my big news!

I honestly can't wait to go...I know that God is at work in Africa and I am privileged just to be a very very small part of it. Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for this trip!

Let me know if you are interested in more details of my trip -- I'd love to tell you all about it. :)
