What's next...

Hello all! Sorry that I am a terrible blogger but thank you for being patient with me! Well, Shelby and I have now been here for over three months and it has flown by! I am already starting to get sad that I can say I have only 5 1/2 months left! This may seem like a long time to a lot of people but I am starting to feel at home here and the thought of leaving home makes me sad. But! I still do have a while here so I am going to enjoy every single day! Starting Thursday I am headed an hour away to a city called Stellenbosch. I will be meeting up with about 20 college students from the US and the five other people that are on my possible missions team. I will be working with them doing sports ministry (yes, sports ministry!) for six weeks. There are lots of things that I am anxious about for this upcoming time of life but I am also extremely excited. For everyone coming from the US this is a six week summer trip but for me in my head this is the beginning of years to come! This is me seeing if this is the team that I want to step into and dedicate myself to. Let me just take a moment to freak out a little bit because this is huge! I mean huge! I can't seem to get over the fact that this is even a possibility for my future. A long term missionary is a possible and very likely occupation for me! Wow! Some people only wish they could live out their dreams and now God is leading me into mine. Again I say Wow! So... now I am preparing to leave and head into this new place and stage but I am also having to leave people behind here at Living Hope. But it will be so wonderful to come back in July and hug my family here. Anyways, please be in prayer for me as I go into this six weeks. I have personal insecurities that are playing a part in my anxiety so I am sensing a spiritual battle coming on but that is okay because the Lord is so incredibly faithful! Also please pray that I hear the Lord's calling on my life clearly. He has been revealing my true passions to me and has shown me where he wants me but now it is time to see with whom. Well, have a blessed day and I will try to be more consistent with my blog! :)

Oh Shelby! How I will miss thee!

This is Clark! A future (maybe) teammate! Thanks for coming to visit friend.

We have had lots of visitors at our house lately. The first time them come around our house they broke in and ate all of Shelby's fruit. Who would have thought that the would be a threat of baboons!

We had a march through our communities protesting child abuse. We painted the kids faces and our own.
