Bonswa from Spencer!
Well, it has been one full day since I left Cedar Falls. I said goodbye to all my wonderful friends, my fun job, and the church that I love yesterday and moved back to my hometown Spencer, Iowa. It's such a weird feeling saying goodbye to my friends that I have seen every week for years, and not knowing the next time I will see them. My whole drive home though, I was at complete peace that THIS is what God wants for my life - and that makes everything easier.
God has been working in my life so much in the past 15 months and I cannot deny that He is calling me to Haiti. God has opened door after door and I will continue to walk through them as He opens them. I have never been so excited for the next chapter of my life! All the "unknowns" of this new adventure should scare me more, but I know that God has my back!
I will be moving to Savanette, Haiti with Cassidy in a month or so (30+ days). We will be working for Many Hands for Haiti. We will be running an after school program for the Pella Christian School there, and working with the women in the Savanette community with their jewelry business.
Until I leave, I will be packing and making sure I have everything I need for the first 6 months. In case you didn't know - 6 months is a LONG time to pack for!! I will be posting a list of all the necessities later to give you an idea of what it takes. :)
Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to prepare for this exciting new journey.
Na we pita! (See you later!)
