Week 2
This week was a rough week but God definitely did some awesome things this week too! Four out of the six of us girls got sick. Either with colds or stomach aches/issues. I've had a cold all week! And if you know me, I don't do well when I'm sick. All I want to do is curl up and sleep all day and just relax. Well, since I couldn't really do that, God definitely helped me through and I pushed through. It was for sure a growing week! But on a better note, we did some fun things this week! We went and saw the girl's home on Monday, which was exciting to see. It needs a lot of work but has great potential. We met with a girl that Mary-Kate and I had met on our first trip to Swaziland, Titi, about the girl's home and being a house mothr and maybe even helping out before the house was ready. She was so willing and so on board, we knew it was God at work. Wednesday one of my teammates and I went with the guy from MYC's social services to an orphanage and helped him with his monthly updates of the kids there. I got a little glimpse of what I will be doing for the year I'm here. It was super exciting. Thursday, we too the morning and were silent until lunch. It was time to spend with God, to listen to his voice. I reread some of my journal from the past year and a half. God has truly been faithful in answering my prayers. He has been preparing me for this trip even before I knew it! It was awesome to see how He had been working in my life. God really does have everything under control! We/I just need to trust in Him and He will take you/me where you're meant to be!
