Four Trips

I have made it safely home! (as of Monday afternoon- after 9 flights and 25 days!) I wish I wrote while in London and sincerely wish I could have written while in South Africa because so much happened. In the end, it felt as though I traveled on four trips.You have heard of my first trip. The second was to London to visit my cousin Jody (great host!). The third was the mission in South Africa. The fourth was a mini-vacation in South Africa for 3 days because I missed my flight out! LOL It was all quite wonderful. I have some stories written down, so I will share them over the next few days. For now, it is immensely wonderful to be home! I was able to see most of my India teammates last night and it was blissfully fantastic :D I began discipleship training school at Christ Fellowship (called Core) yesterday, and am SUPER excited about all God is going to teach me through this, and am very much looking forward to the mission trip with Core next June!
This week I have also been able to see my family and many friends, including one visiting from California before moving to New Zealand! It feels so good to be home.
So, the stories will come. For now, thank you for your prayers! God did wonderful & amazing things in & through us and I can hardly wait to share with you. But first, I need to study...
This coming week on Thursday, I will be taking the MCAT in the hopes of entering medical school for neurology (more specifically, neurobiology of disease medical science training program) next fall.
Prayers are most appreciated.

Here are two pictures from South Africa. The first is the medical tents with the informal settlement in the background. The second is four of the team (L-R: Nick, med student; Jamie, wife of Owen, another med student; Dr. Lovette; me!) passing out bread at a church near Stanger.
