    I’m so overwhelmed and humbled at the generosity of everyone as I raised money on my GoFundMe for Kids Club. We are just shy of $4k!!! Unbelievable. As we distribute eggs for the children and use the leftover money in other areas, I will keep you updated with adorable pictures and stories of what God is doing!


    I wanted to give you guys an overview of what I am doing everyday at The James Place (property where HEAL ministries is in Jinja). Here is my tentative schedule as I am training to take over some the roles of our Operations Manager (Helene) who is leaving in December.


    During the week, we get home from work, make dinner, workout (on a good day), shower, hangout in the kitchen & talk, and end up watching episodes of Blind Spot (our chosen tv show to binge).


    Life in Jinja:

    -sweat dripping down my legs

    -headbands = necessity

    -babies peeing on you

    -rice & beans with added hot sauce

    -fans on fans on fans

    -apron around my waist

    -following Helene around with my notebook

    -break out dance parties

    -learning how to make baskets and pottery

    -slowly learning some phrases in Luganda

    -ants are not harmless, their bites HURT

    -belly laughing everyday

    -needing a kindle because of how many books you read

    -taking your shoes off a bazillion times a day

    -^^crocs are a lifesaver

    -having a love/hate relationship with social media

    -holding onto letters more tightly than you ever have

    -friends who skip the friend stage and become like sisters

    -wrestling everyday and fighting for the truth that God is good in the midst of suffering
