Updates

I thought I would give a little update on my situation on going to Africa. I have an official leave date of April 1st. This date leaves me excited and nervous at the same time. It is now less than 2 months away and I know those will go by quickly.

I found out in the past week I will be living in a furnished house with my two friends from Spokane, who I applied to the program with, and another doctor from Australia. I am excited we will be able to live together and be able to support each other emotionally, physically and spiritually. I know there will be hard times but we can be each others strength in times of struggle. We will be about 20 minutes walking distance from the hospital where we all be working. It is the regional hospital with 350 beds and specializes in Surgery, Medicine, Pediatrics, and OB/GYN. They are fortunate to have a good supply of medical supplies and meds. I have no idea what to expect in the hospital but I know God will work through my weakness and the unknowns.

I hope most of my friends and family have received my letter of support. If you did not receive a letter and would like to, please email me your address. I have until the 1st of March to raise support. Thank you in advance for your support and prayers! God bless you!
