Jason Hill's Ugandan Children (001)

So... Aimee and I are getting ready to go to Africa on June 27th. I am really excited and nervous at the same time. I know what to expect to a certain degree because of all that we have been told. However, its a whole new ball game once we step off the plane and into a different world.

I have been out of the country (to Honduras) on two other occasions, but this will be the first time for Aimee. She has a lot of questions that I can't answer, and that is uncomfortable for both of us. It would be nice if I could just tell her what to expect and how to act and what to do if this certain thing happens... but I don't know either, so I can't comfort or reasure her. This is truely going to be a great and challenging experience for both of us.

It has felt like the day could not come fast enough, and now it is almost here.

Prayer... God, please prepare our hearts and minds for what we are about to do. Lord, I pray that you prepare the people who we will be ministering to as well. Break down the walls that keep us from opening up and getting to know each other. Lord, help Aimee and I to understand our place in your kingdom and give us direction as we seek your will for our lives. Amen.
