It's Official!

It's been a year and a half since I returned from Nigeria. In that time, I have moved to VA, bought my first car, found a job, and completed all but 1 semester of grad school (I graduate in May!!). Well, I just recently found out that I have the opportunity to return to Nigeria as an intern this summer! I am so excited! :)

The internship will run from June 11-July 31, 2011, in Jos, Nigeria. I will have the opportunity to work with the missionaries already living in Jos to help serve the people of the Kisayhip village and the children and workers of a local orphanage. I can't wait to go back and see what's changed, and what's stayed the same. :)

So, the next 6 months will be filled with fund-raising, getting some booster shots, packing, and obtaining my visa. Please pray that all of this goes smoothly and that God prepares the hearts of me and my team members, the missionaries already serving, and the people we will reach while we are there.

I will keep this updated with all my adventures leading up to and during the trip.

Happy Holidays! :)
