Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who donated! I have officially raised my goal for my trip to Uganda this March! Words cannot express how meaningful it is to have the support from both friends, family, and strangers from the past and present. It is encouraging to be supported in my vision and desires to help those less fortunate. I believe in keeping a posture of giving for myself, and it is exciting to share life with so many people who feel the same. So thank YOU for being awesome! Can you tell that I am excited and overwhelmed? :)
In other news... Besides the monetary provision, I can see how I am being prepared to go overseas from my work in the Emergency Department in Charlotte as a nurse. I am consistently seeing more and more people from Africa and take the opportunity to learn about their home. I am also engaging myself in more pediatric cases to become familiar with population and health risks. I have begun to love my job which I think is largely related to switching to day shift. That has been a huge blessing! Living my life at night was one of the hardest things I have done (I say this I am typing an email at 630am... I am such a morning person.)
Another exciting change is that I moved into a house with some friends last friday. The home has proven to be a respite and has quickly began feeling like home. I will definitely miss Angie & Preston (and the boys!) but this is a good place for me at this stage of life. The home owner has also been very generous and made my monthly bill minimal to help me save for graduate school and my work abroad.
Things are going really well... and your support to Uganda is icing on the cake. Thank you, again.
