Swaziland

I'm currently taking a break from filling out an application that will potentially (hopefully) change my life.

Missions have never been for me. I've waved goodbye and welcomed my sister home at the Portland Airport more times than I care to count from places all over the world. I love supporting her and other missionaries through prayer and hearing their stories of blessings and redemption, but have never desired to experience that myself.

Over the past three months, that has changed. God has changed me. He sent people from all over the world to talk to me this summer about their lives, the important of missions, and Africa. How blessed am I? God gave me a personal invitation to go and work in people's lives!

But I get ahead of myself. I am working on an application that will take me to Swaziland, Africa for two whole weeks. A mission field where the life expectancy is 40 years old and with the highest percentage of population with AIDs in the entire world. In Swaziland lies an orphanage where God has big plans for my change and others as well.

I will update more on my journey in future posts, but just wanted to share how incredibly excited I am about this opportunity to help people and change my perspective of the world.
