I have survived my first week here in Pretoria! Everyone has been extremely welcoming and kind. I am lucky that I got here about a week before my classes started because I got the chance to settle in. I am slowly getting used to everything here and I am enjoying it very much!
The house is always loud and exciting...and I wouldn't want it any other way! Everyone has clean-up duties that we do at the end of the day. During the week two people fix dinner for everyone and so far that food has been amazing!
I got to sit in on two classes this past week and they were very good. It made me even more excited to begin my own journey as a mid-year. I am looking forward to the transformation and change that happens when God consumes every aspect of a person's life. I don't know what will happen or how I will change but I know that God will work in my life this year. This is the beginning of a wonderful journey!
I do miss all my family and friends back in Texas. However this year is an exciting season of change for a lot of people and I can not wait to hear about all the spectacular things that happen in everyone's life!
I'll see all y'all by Thanksgiving time!! God bless!

All My Thanks
I have been incredibly excited this past week! And now I am finally sitting in an airport all by myself just waiting to begin my year long journey. It's easy to talk about how I am prepared and ready to start this new season of my life however, it is also necessary to say thank you to the people who have prepared me and are continuing to encourage me.
My parents obviously deserve all the thanks in the world. Yes, they might have been driving me crazy this past week but I understand that it is because they care about me and they want to make sure I am well taken care of (which I will be) and that I take care of myself (which I will). I am so thankful they are allowing me to adventure across the world in order to learn and grow into what God has planned for me. THANKS MOM THANKS DAD!
My siblings also deserve a lot, and I mean a LOT of thanks! Nathan thank you for always watching out for your little sis and I appreciate your support. Jonathan thanks for always making me laugh and understanding what it means to be a world-traveler! I will be praying for YOU as you head off on your own journey. Hannah thank you for keeping me sane and making sure I was packed. I won't know what to do without all y'all!!
My friends of course! Thank all y'all for, first of all, being my friend and making my life awesome! I could talk about every single one of my friends and how they make my life brighter but I will spare everyone that long long list.
I also owe a huge thanks to my grandparents! They have supported me in everything I do and I am so thankful to be a part of their legacy.
Lastly, I need to thank my church family. My pastors have been a large influence on my desire to travel and experience God's work across all nations. Thank you for praying for me and encouraging me to become the person I am today! I would be going nowhere without them.
There are probably a million more thanks I could give to many more people but I want to extend all of my gratitude to God. I am extremely thankful that He has given me this new adventure and I can not wait to see what else lies on His path for my life!
NOW I say goodbye! Farewell Texas I will miss you greatly!
