“Over the mountains and the sea Your river runs with love for me And I will open up my heart And let the healer set me free I’m happy to be in the truth And I will daily lift my hands For I will always sing Of when your love came down“ God has been trying to heal me for a while now. At home I am the protector of my friends and family, so I feel like I have to be strong for them. Coming to Africa I felt like I would take on the same role as a protector and be strong for everyone else so that they could have someone to feel like they could count on. God definitely had...

        * SORRY I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME TO UPDATE YOU, BUT HERES A LITTLE TAD BIT*        I came on this trip with Horrible acne! Never this bad! Two nights ago Dauna; a girl on my team had a dream about healing it! In her dream she rubbed dirt on my face and prayed!

Ever since we have been here and visited the Hope House, a few of us girls have felt led to pray for this man named Bernard. He is very elderly and has been blind since the age of forty.

Even with no result though, we continued to be obedient and...

Sanibonani!! I know I haven’t blogged in a while but it’s because God has been showing me such amazing, cool things here and I can’t wait to tell you all the stories once I’m home in November! It is crazy great that YOU got me here playing with Swazi babies and saying Hello, Sanibonani! to an entire Swazi elementary school at 6:45 AM; through mostly your prayer but also a lot of financial support. Seriously if my financial needs were not met I would have been sitting on my couch either watching Star Wars or Spongebob and eating pretzels. But somehow I still need...
