I Am So Grateful

We have had an African pastor from Kenya visiting for the past few weeks. He spoke at church the last two Sundays. The first time I met him was about three years ago in Tanzania. He is such a wonderful man of God. Having him here has been so neat. It makes me think about moving to Tanzania even more. I am looking forward to seeing some of the people that I've met on my past two visits to Africa. There are a couple of pastors that I have continued to have contact with via email. They know I am coming in July and have expressed their excitement. I just received an email from one pastor who calls me his "American Sister." He emailed me today to let me know he is continuing to pray for my big move...so sweet.

I was teaching at school today and just enjoying the kids. I was thinking about what my life will be like in a year from now. I began to miss what I have right now...a wonderful class and great people I work with. I love being a teacher and I'll miss it so much. I think the Lord gave me African friends so that I can continue to remember them and their needs...So I will be able to let go of what I love so much right now for a people that I have come to love.
Thank you God for your love in my heart for others. I am so grateful.
