Destination: AFRICA!!!

Okay, the word is out. Most of you probably already know, but I am heading to KENYA in July! I will be teaching second grade at the same school where I student taught. I am sad to leave the Dominican Republic but excited at the same time for the new adventures that await me. I am sure life will be very different. I will really miss speaking Spanish, my kids here, and my friends. But I am excited for African church, the students there, and the babies, among other things. I am sure it will be very different than when I student taught there. It is a three year commitment, which is scary but exciting because that way I know what I will be doing, Lord willing, for the next three years. It was really tough telling my students that I am leaving. Now they all want to come visit me in Africa, which is fine with me ;). This year has been really really good for the most part. I have learned so much about God and His incredible love for me. He is truly amazing! My first graders have taught me so much about Him! I love their desire to learn about God and the questions they ask. I wish you could all sit in and hear them when we are talking about God! It blows my mind.

I will post pictures hopefully today. I only have a little more than 6 weeks here! YIKES!!!!
