On her flight to Africa months ago, Stacey met a girl named Kristin from Alabama who is working with an organization called Wiphan Care, and thanks to that connection we were able to hang out with multiple people from Canada, the U.K., all over the States and beyond last weekend. It was such a blessing. […]

It has been awhile since I wrote, sorry about that. I find it is sometimes hard for me to put what I want  down in words, or I think I have what I want to write down, and then I find myself babbling nonsensically and writing in long, run-on sentences(as I am currently doing). ANYWAYS, […]

I would just like to write a brief post asking for prayer. Joanna, one of the girls living at Hope Orphanage as well as one of my 6th graders, has been complaining of heartburn like pain for quite some time and therefore was taken to the clinic and from there the hospital Friday morning. Now, […]

Muli Shawni all! Well here it comes, the post I promised earlier bragging about my ever so wonderful students! If I talked about the whole week I would be writing just way too much, so let’s just focus on Thursday and Friday.

Wednesday afternoon Stacey, our wonderful guide Ba Mambwe, and myself boarded the 13.30 bus for Botswana, Africa. I don’t think either of us poor abusungu’s knew quite what was in store for us.

That’s right folks, school has begun! Stacey, my fellow American, arrived Saturday afternoon and bright and early Monday morning we were both thrown into teaching. Poor Stacey really had no time to acclimate. For me, the day couldn’t start early enough. However, boy has life gotten busy. On top of co-teaching my sixth graders with […]

 TOP NEWS IN ZAMBIA….IT’S ELECTION TIME! That’s right people, the presidential elections for Zambia are September 20th and campaigning is in full force. I’m going to preface this now by saying that if anyone has heard the State’s warning American’s against coming here because of possible political unrest, or telling American’s currently living in Zambia […]

So tomorrow marks my first month down here in Zambia. I cannot believe how fast time is flying! I think I am starting to regret only having six months in this beautiful country(I may be singing a different tune in a few months).
Currently I am sitting at my temporary desk at Hope Fellowship’s offices, waiting […]

Hello First Covenant,
So this past week has been an interesting one. As a few of you may have heard, if my mom blabbed, I got myself nice and sick Thursday, the 21st of July, so this week was my initiation back to the real world. No worries, I am all better now. Antibiotics are a […]

So I have been here in Zambia for over a week now and have yet to write. Sorry my, possibly?, faithful followers. Fear not, though, life is amazing here. I am safe, healthy, and loving life. That is not to say there aren’t things I am having some difficulty getting used to. Moving slowly and […]
