Two Months Later

It has been two months since I arrived in Oregon, and I can not wait to go back to Africa. I still think, for a moment, there might be a lion in a bush if I hear rustling. I miss eating warm chapati. I have to resist starting most stories with, “When I was in Kenya…”. My experiences in Africa confirmed what I want to do with my life!

I also have a new outlook on wants, needs, and desires. I want new Toms, I need food, and I desire a happy life. There are so many people in the Western world who don’t know the difference; but I also know that people who have never seen a different way of life can't be blamed for their worldview. Currently, I am back at school and work in Oregon. I do homework, hang out with friends, and am a regular college student, but I won't ever forget how my first experience in Africa shaped me. Basically, every facet of my life has been effected by that one month- and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

I can’t wait to go back to Africa whether that be for service, education, or work. I'll keep you in the know once another adventure presents itself! Thank you so much for your support, interest, and prayers.
