So I have blogged before and been bad, really bad at writing posts.  I became inspired at a meeting tonight to blog during my trip to Africa.  I am very excited about this adventure in my life and I know that I will be transformed.  I am getting slightly nervous about the long 15 hour plane trip.  But I know that it will be nice watching movies, reading, and hopefully sleeping.  

I have felt called to go to Africa for quite some time now.  I felt a burning call that I was suppose to go there...and now is my time!  I have seen the hand of God being able to make this trip possible and God preparing in me all summer.  

I had the joy of going to Costa Rica earlier this summer which was one of the ways God was preparing me for my latest adventure to Africa.  It was such a joy going there.  I love being in other countries and meeting Christians from all over.  I was able to meet the Bishop of the Methodist Church in Costa Rica and Im sure that I will meet some bishops while if Africa.  I get so excited to meet Methodists from all over the world.  Since the Methodist Church is a connectional body, we have so much in common.  What is even more special is that all Christians around the world are able to pray together, worship together, and celebrate communion together.  In Costa Rica I had the joy of going to a worship service in all Spanish.  I took Spanish in high school, but dont remember alot sadly.  Even though the service was in a language I didnt really understand...I still felt the spirit and the love of Christ while worshipping.  Today, in our meeting about going to Africa, a few fellow travelers prayed in other languages.  Even though I did not understand what they were saying, it was still powerful. 

Its late and I need to go to bed before my adventure tomorrow.  Hopefully I will be able to update while I am there pending on internet service.
