Once again...

... I am overwhelmed.
I was sitting in the car waiting for mom to finish buying the produce. As I was sitting there I saw a young man walk up and immediately I felt such an overwhelming compassion and such a deep love for the people of 'my' great nation! This young man was mentally and physically handicap. Three of his fingers were crooked, his left lip, cheek, and eyebrow were constantly twitching, and I doubt there was a straight tooth in his mouth; and yet, I couldn't help but feeling such a love for him! I thought about him all they way home. I wondered, 'Jesus, is this a little of what you felt when you walked on this earth so many years ago? Filled with such compassion and love?'


I pray that I will continue loving these people with the deep love that I felt today!! Give a hug, share a smile... let someone know you care today!!

Would you forgive me?

I have neglected you, my dear blog, and for that I'm sorry. When I started befriending you, I thought that I would have some sort of instantaneous inspiration so that I could 'wow' you with my amazing writings... so far, it hasn't happened. Anyway, I must allow our readers to feel important too...

HELLO precious readers - (all 2 of you)
I've really not *intentionally* ignored updating this, but sometimes, there just are not enough words that could correctly express what I feel or what is going on in my life. Anyway.... moving on to the important stuff.
Catching up from the youth conference in Iringa/Dar es Salaam... well let's just say that was AMAZING!!! About 35 young people received the Holy Ghost.
Ok - and on to the past 2 weeks of being on the road.
A week was spent in South Africa. While that was an amazing experience, new friends met, and memories were made, it was extremely FREEZING cold! I had an awesome birthday week; everyone that sent birthday cards, money, notes, and warm wishes... THANK YOU!
The week after SA, was spent in Nairobi, Kenya @ Dr. appoinments, shopping, and just chilling out. My cousin flew in from Austin,Tx and thus far we are having an AWESOME time.
We have created a joint blog for the duration of his stay here in Tanzania, so I more than likely will not be posting alot on here for the next 6 weeks. Check us out @ R Great Adventure.
Happy Readings!

Hello and Goodbye...

Hello my peeps!!!....


and Good-bye for awhile




Sorry I've neglected this blog for awhile. I've been packing and getting ready for 10 days of youth conferences. We will be leaving in the am (Friday - 6.19.) and try to make it to the 2 o'clock service for the first service of the Dar youth conference... SUPER EXCITED!


We leave Dar for Iringa on Tuesday of next week and won't be back home until... sometime around the 30th.... so PRAY!


Pray that God would -




A) Do HIS will
B) Fill many people.
C) Show up and show off!!!!
D) Give the speakers/teachers/preachers a specific word for each service/conference!




LOVE TO ALL ~
