Hey everyone! I'm back home, I arrived last Monday safe and sound. I want to thank all of you for all your support and prayers, God was working wonderfully in my heart and life while I was down there, and still is.
As most of you know, I had Malaria last Friday, but quickly recovered before I boarded the plain (praise the Lord!) and I want to thank you for your prayers concerning that as well.
Saying goodbye to all my dear Chadian friends was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. As I leaned out the car window crying and saying my last goodbyes to everyone, my mind was already made. I will see them all again. To my surprise and joy, the day after I got home, they all called me to say hi! I told them I was fine, and my family was doing very well. They are doing fine, but very sad not to have me around. It was heartbreaking. I do miss them.
Spending a year in Chad Africa, living amongst the most beautiful, amazing people I've ever met, learning the language and growing closer to my Lord has undoubtedly ushered in the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me in the years to come. God bless you all.
