775 FOR LIFE

Hey blog readers! This is a little note just for you guys, I have been posting the blogs on facebook as well and….well I think you might be getting jiped.

Im here in Africa sitting on the tier swing swinging and typing..

Things are starting to get into focus here and im loving it.
I can look at things back home more clearly and can now think about stuff about home, before I could just not focus on it..or any thing for that matter.
When I would pray It was hard for me to feel God and that I was truly talking to him.

I think I needed to just get in the grove here and start to see my place here.

As much as I love the people I left in Reno it hasn’t been that hard being with out them, but I do have a lot of contact with every one so im sure that’s helping me to not feel sad about them all.

Last time I was here Nate and I where not as close as we are right now, and when we where in Reno we would help each other thru things and talk it out and encouraging each other and it was vary kool, but here when we talk it is that much more needed and helpful.
I am so thankful that God gave me Nate as my friend and fellow worrier!

Notes from the start

JUST A FEW NOTES FROM THE START OF MY TRIP
(I spell like crap so don’t pay any mind to that) (or don’t read past this point)


Well hey all!
Im here at the air port about to go the London to meet with Jared.

I know I haven’t gotten much sleep, but I have such a feeling of loneliness.
Missing cretin people back home.
I will be so happy to meet up with Jared! It is a little hard traveling by myself just because of being lonely.
I have NO clue what being in Africa will bring! But I do KNOW that its what God wants me to be doing.

well its about 4 am here in NBO and Jared and I got about 3 hours of sleep last night but we are feeling so good right now.

Last night I was dealing with depression about a thing here and there about home, but after taking to Jared and getting a few hours of sleep im feeling good.

3am *SLAP*
Andrew- “did you get it?” (a bug buzzing around us)
Jared- “no I just keep slapping myself in the face”
Both – “hahah”

It has been nice to get to know Jared.
As I write this Jared is working on a poem for Hannah’s b day
And……whats that?
o that’s right there is blood on the net that covers the bed….nasty but hey This Is Africa (TIA)
6 months is a long time, im hoping a few of my friends who have been talking about coming to Africa end up coming (you know who you are :p.)
that would make my months here even more kool!
But at the same time I don’t want them to come out of Gods will for their life. :).

Before I left I said good bye to all my youth kids and a few friends (seth and Andrew) and man…..i cried for a good 5 mins after I said good bye to them.
Then the air port with Faith Joy Mike Luke Ruth and Bre……ya also hard.
I did look into my brothers eyes and could see this. Although he was sad that I was taking off I could see that he KNEW that it was what I needed to do.
A big part of who I am today is because of him and all he has done for me.
