I am so excited to tell you that I will be taking my first missions trip June 2012! I am Africa bound and will be visiting Ethiopia and Uganda during my 13 day trip. The organization I am traveling with is called Visiting Orphans and you guessed it, we will be visiting, serving, and loving orphans and their communities.
Loving on orphans, especially in Africa, and someday adopting have been something I knew I was supposed to do since the age of about twelve-years-old. It dawned on me a few weeks ago that while I'm not old, I certainly am not getting any younger.
I stumbled across this organization and this trip and almost instantly knew that God had a place for me with them. After taking just a few days to think it over and decide, the trip filled up. I was so confused because I felt for sure now that I was supposed to be on that trip. Feeling in my heart that God truly had a plan for me, I submitted my application even though it was a closed trip. The very next day I received an email stating that I had a spot! Now I am even more excited than ever knowing confidently that I am meant to be in Africa June of 2012!
