closer to heaven

I MADE IT TO AFRICA :)
thank you all for your continued prayers!!!!!
i have very limited internet time but i haven't missed it, or my phone, or texting-- not when you have children to love on :)

wow. i have so much to say. i will try to run through some of the highlights so far :D

1. best plane ride from Detroit to Amsterdam-- even met an OSU fan who was our flight attendant, lives in the Brewery District!!! Small World right??!!
2. they really love their wooden shoes in Holland
3. i have found my soul-mate on this trip a.k.a. alex-anna (a girl on my team)- god def. knows my heart and who i would need.
4. the weather is AMAZING!!!!!
5. i wish i could show ya'll pictures of where i'm staying, it's not bad at all and i just pretend the mosquito net that drapes over our bed is a princess canopy ;)
6. the children bless my life soo much. ya'll they will hold ur hands, hug you, tell you stories- they just want your attention soo much.
7. the food is very different from America.
8. seeing the faces of rebecca and the orphanes open the bags of donations was incredible!!!! rebecca said for the past 2 wks. they have been using this lil bit of tooth paste until we got there :/ BUT now they have an ABUNDANCE!!!
9. today we are traveling to the slums. please pray for protection. we are going to give them clothes, bibles, water, love.
10. i just feel that by being here the veil between heaven and earth is a little thinner. the faith a little bolder. the love a lot more free. the worship passionate.
11. i have learned a few lugandan words...yayaya!!!!

it's so humbling to see a 4 yr. old on their knees praising god. praying and knowing their prayers were heard and will be answered.

i love you all.
i'm sorry i don't have a lot of detail right now.
none of us are sick- praise god.


keep those prayers coming!!!
