Hello!
I just wanted to update and share with everyone what God has been doing in my life lately.
When I came back from Uganda in December, after lots of prayer, I made the decision to attend Eternity Bible College in Simi Valley California.
I am studying for my Global Ministry Certificate
In the fall I started an online class through Eternity, which I continued online while I was in Uganda and really enjoyed the class. My younger brother Landry had started his first semester at Eternity last fall and was also encouraging me to
come to Simi Valley.

I started my first semester here in January and am currently living in a beautiful little house with three other girls.
God provided the perfect place for me to live and I have been extremely blessed with a wonderful landlord who is so sweet (yes even sweet enough to plant us an herb garden in the back yard and flowers to attract the butterflies).
not to mention we also have a lemon and orange tree!!
I have been even more blessed by my 3 roommates who I have connected with so easily and have become great friends with over the course of a few months.
It was so clear after moving out here that this is exactly where I am suppose to be in this season. I love my classes and professors and have met so many awesome people while being out here, I couldn't be more grateful for all of the new friends I have made at EBC.
If any of you are looking into Bible College I would defiantly recommend checking out EBC

Aside from school I have also been involved in some volunteer work down in South LA.
Currently on Thursday nights I am helping out with a kids class at Cornerstone South LA.

This is also the church that I attend most Sundays.
Down the street from this church is a little hispanic church that me and one of my roommates attended one Sunday, needless to say, despite the language barrier, the members of this church have become dear friends of ours and never fail to invite us over to eat with them Sunday's after church.
(perhaps this should be a blog post in itself)

We have had a couple worship & dinners at our house along with some hilarious game nights. I can't express how thankful I am for the friends I have made here at EBC.

and then at the end of this Semester I will be heading back to Uganda for the summer.
Although I know God always has other plans, here are the...
Goals for this summer's trip:
- Learning Luganda I will be scoping out some of the language classes available in Kampala, which hopefully I can start my next trip, because I will not be staying long enough this time to attend any official classes. I have already began my own personal language study here at home. And I have some friends in Uganda who will be helping me along in my progression and immersion.
- History and Culture Immersion
I will be visiting some of the history museums and culture centers around to educate myself more on the culture and history of Uganda. I believe it is important for me to know the people and culture I am ministering to better and there is still so much to learn! On my latter trips I never took the time to learn more about this beautiful country and it's culture by visiting some of these places that provide so much insight into the history of Uganda.
- Village MinistryI have a few villages that I will be visiting this trip. One of them is Mosolita village (I know I spelled this wrong), this is the village that I have visited a few times with The Rock Uganda Missions team. The other two villages are right outside of Jinja, one being the home village of Daniel (story here). I will be visiting for fellowship and also plan on bringing food to prepare. I need to master the Ugandan cooking style :P
- Visiting FriendsThere are so many people who I am excited to see when I come back. Including Josephine and Titus (who will then be newly weds!) and all the beautiful girls at The Fortress, Emma who just launched her ministry The Gem Foundation I am stoked to see her new home all put together and the amazing things that God is doing in her life, Joyce! and her crazy brothers ( Simon and Ben) you can read more about her ministry here! Also, my friend Macey, here's a link to her blog, I am so excited for her and the plans that God has laid out for her life. Also my friend Danielle (wish I could find the link to her blog!), And of course, Daniel and all of my friends at VCC.My main focus for this trip will be culture and language immersion and getting to know the people that I will be ministering to better.
"We forget the example set by Christ who "being in very nature God" did not cling to that identity but instead became not only a Jew, but a servant among Jews (Phil. 2:6-7). We must love the people to whom we minister so much that we are willing to enter their culture as children, to learn how to speak as they speak, play as they play, eat what they eat, sleep where they sleep, study what they study, and thus earn their respect and admiration" (Lingenfelter 1986:25)
