I am part of a family of six who followed God's call to live on a ship, the Africa Mercy, in order to bring hope and healing to the poor of West Africa. Living here has shaped my character and strengthened my relationship with the LORD. Although my life journey has included excitement, adventure, frustration, monotony, joy, heartache, craziness,mercy, fun, pain, hope, and many other highs and lows, God has always come through for me in the little things and the big things. As I continue serving Jesus I invite you to join me, support me in prayer, and catch up on what is happening in my life from time to time.

Goodbye France!

It is the last week of my stay in France! At times during these past few months, I have felt that my stay was dragging on, and at other times it has seemed that everything was happening too fast. I have had both good times and hard times, and I am thankful that I was able to have this opportunity to learn and grow. I am also thankful for the two families that opened their homes to me this year, and for all the sacrifices they have made to help make my stay in France amazing. I will miss them, as well as the friends I have made. I'm so glad I got to meet them all!

I will be returning to Seattle on Saturday, and will begin my online classes. I'm excited to see my family in the U.S, but I know that I will never forget my French/Italian family that has hosted me in Troyes for the past months.

Vive la France!
