Welcome to South Africa :)

When I applied to study nursing at APU, I did so with every intention of studying abroad in South Africa my senior year. I wasn't sure about much more at that point in my life (and not much has changed), but of study abroad South Africa I was certain. It is a competitive program, so for the next three years I had intense times of prayer ("please, please, please let me go to South Africa...") along with the occasional melt down as I envisioned the possibility of me not able to go.

When I read the email that I was going to South Africa in post-conference at the end of one of my clinical days in Spring of 2013, I cried. Ridiculously hard. People were concerned. I cried for the end of the suspension that I thought would never end; I cried for the answered prayers; and I cried for the amazing things that were to come in this country. I continue to feel that God is going to do something BIG this semester-what that looks like I have no idea, but I eagerly anticipate what is in store!

So here I am. I am about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. For the next 15 weeks, I will be studying, learning, growing, and fellowshipping with 52 other college students in South Africa. Here I will share my adventures-the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the best part is, you get to share with me. Please be praying for me! Here we go!!
