Wow, I can't believe I'm leaving in one week! Both exciting and unbelievable is the fact that I am taking a break from my regular work of teaching and going overseas. What am I doing? (a very popular question, which is sometimes difficult to discern...)
Well, first, I am going to Nicaragua. I leave February 4th, where I will be staying for 2.5 months. I will be living with a missionary family there, the Randall's, and be volunteering at the Nehemiah centre. This will be my third time in Managua, Nicaragua, the first time in 2006 with TDCH, and again last year visiting Aleida van der Woerd, who is currently teaching at Nicaragua Christian Academy there.
At the Nehemiah centre, I am going to be doing a wide range of things, from teaching, working with the teams that come, bookkeeping, cooking, computers - you name it. The list of possibilities is pretty big. Basically, they said be ready for anything, every day is going to be different! Sounds good to me!
April 23rd, I come back to Canada for a week, before jetting off to South Africa and working in a local school there, helping with curriculum development. I am excited about this prospect as I am exploring if that is what I would like to do my masters in. After working there for three week, my mom is going to be joining me and we are going to tour a bit of the African continent for 2 weeks seeing my top 3 (Kruger National Park, the Okavango delta, and Victoria Falls- its like being on a National Geographic film).
So I am set to return sometime in early June...and then what will I do with my summer? Too many adventures await before then - one thing at a time!
So hopefully, you will be able to follow some of my adventures here, and keep me in your prayers as I hope to learn more about God's creation and people in different parts of the world.
