I just wanted to report that support for Africa has been coming together pretty quickly! God is providing in many ways. I currently have about 2/3 of my financial support needed for Niger and I have purchased my tickets for training in Charlotte, NC. I leave June 19th, six days after my graduation and will be gone for a week. At this point, I am planning to buy tickets to Niger for the middle of August.
I'm looking forward to my Senior Trip to Ecuador this weekend and I can't believe how soon I graduate! My graduation is June 13 and it's a little scary that I will be an "adult" and independent soon, but I know that God will strengthen and teach me each step of the way. I'm going to enjoy my last couple of months in Perú, but I will definitely be sad to leave my friends here. Growing up is hard, but God is comforting me through this whole process.
It's officially "winter" in Lima and the neblina (darkness) has set in for good. It feels extremely cold even though the temperature remains above 60ºF (15.5ºC). Less than a month ago I was complaining about the heat which had a high of about 93ºF (32.2ºC)... I'm preparing to get my mind blown by the the balmy weather that averages in the mid 100's (over 40ºC) in Galmi! I'm not sure I'm ready for such intimidating weather or the mosquitos quite yet, but I'll get a small taste of them beforehand when I visit hot, muggy North Carolina! I can't wait to go back for my training, as NC was also my home for two and a half years of my childhood.
Prayers would be appreciated as my graduation is coming up. Thanks :) More to come soon...
New Hair!

Last week-helping sponsored World Vision kids in Perú to write letters to their supporters.
Parker! Its Briony :) Yes I am following your blog because what I think you are doing is absolutely amazing and absolutely incredible! It all sounds so exciting and Im sure you will have the most amazing experience and I cannot wait to hear all about it! I really think more people our age should be looking up to you, you really are one of a kind with the dedication and effort you are putting into this! World Vision kids are the cutest! This year I am my schools representative for World Vision and managed to raise USD$60,000 which is insane but a huge effort from my school, so its great to see other people round the world doing World Vision stuff! Anyway best of luck for your travels, I believe you are going pretty soon, so all the best and cant wait to here about what you get up to! (when you have the chance to of course!) Briony xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Briony! I'm very excited about going, though I know it will be difficult to go out on my own. I won't be alone though, because God is right there with me along with a whole missionary community that I'm excited to be a part of. That's awesome about your school's World Vision program! It's such a great way to help with children's needs around the world.
