Missions Momma

I am going to admit I have been really bad about not writing as much as I have been.  Lately I have just gotten into a routine of just working and trying to spent as much time with the volunteers as I can.  I did have the opportunity to go to volunteer Bible study on Monday night and that was nice to be able to spend a little bit of time with the volunteers.  Since Tuesday

This morning I started by having devotions with the Masi LSEs and I ended up being asked to do the devotions (again always being ready to testify) so I talked about what I learned from the sermon the morning before.  I then met with the preschool LSEs to talk about things and made a plan for the next meeting.  I then had to go and visit my car rental

I enjoyed sleeping in for just a little bit this morning.  I then went and ate breakfast with the team and they left and I went to go and work out.  I then got ready because all of the girl volunteers as well as Carla, Pat, and Pam were going to have a girl afternoon.  We had decided that we would go out to lunch and then see what the

This was an unplanned kind of day.  Since I was suppose to be at a training I took today to get things organized.  There were quite a few boxes of stuff from where we used to live that is stuff that is things that teams or volunteers have left and I have just put in boxes.  Well today I went through it all and counted and took inventory of it all which was

Got up early at Pat's house and we had a nice morning of listening to some worship music and taking our time getting ready in the morning.  I was also excited because this was the first time in three weeks because of the trip.  Church was good it was the International Day of Prayer and it was cool when John shared that all the countries in the world

We got back late last night after spending the past two days on a backpackers bus.  We literally were on a bus for 14 hours one day and like 13 the other.  We were all ready to be home!  I got all of my belongings from our ACTS house and moved to the Team House where I have my own flat(studio apartment).  It has a bed, bathroom, sink,  and little

WOW this week has gone by so fast!  I have had the opportunity to spend some time with my friend Kirsty who was here for three months this summer when I first arrived.  She was a volunteer from England and we just really hit it off.  We have been catching up all week.  We went to Jakes house on Tuesday night to spend

Got up and got ready this morning and went over to Masi for morning devotions.  When I got in the room, I was asked to do the devotion so I had to quickly pull a devotion together.  I guess this is one of those times when you should always have a devotion ready because you never know when you may be asked to lead one.  I got one together and afterwards
