It has been six months since I left Niger. A lot of things
have happened since then and since moving back to the USA. I visited Paris for
a week, took part in a month long road trip with my family, started university,
made new friends, finished my first semester, returned to Peru for two and a
half weeks, and am now heading back to university in a week. This life is a
whirlwind!
Last week in Niger, headed to a wedding.
God has been absolutely amazing to provide me with
everything I need and with perfect timing. He brought up supporters for me
while I was in Niger, and although I can’t afford to attend a private Christian
university, He has enabled me to go there as well. I know that God has great
plans for my life, even when I’m unsure of the future. I hope that my time spent
in Niger was just a snapshot of what God will allow me to do in the future.
Visiting the fistula hospital in Danja.
I’m so thankful for the opportunities I had in Galmi as a
Teacher’s Assistant, working in the pharmacy, and shadowing doctors. I am so
encouraged by all the work my fellow missionaries are doing there for God’s
glory. I hope one day to be as strong and courageous as them, trusting God
every step of the way.
Thanks to those of you who supported me financially or
lifted me up in prayer. I’m sorry for the infrequency of my newsletters and
updates. Those are things I hope to improve in as I get older. In the meantime,
I have a new, very informal blog for those of you who wish to continue
following my inconsistency:

Thanks for being a part of my journey!
All the kids on the compound saying goodbye to the plane.
Send out Your light and truth, that they may lead me, and
bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling;
That I may go to the altar of God, to the God of my joy and
gladness; and on the harp I will give thanks to You, O God my God.
~Psalm 43:3-4
