We left Ganta on Wednesday, July 3rd and drove to Monrovia. It was a long day in the bus, about seven and a half hours. After our arrival, a few of us went for a walk on the beach. It was so much fun! Because we were so close to the equator, the water wasContinue reading “You Learn Something New…”

Tuesday, July 2 was our last day in Ganta. I helped Kathy with a watercolor color class in the morning and the afternoon was busy. Kathy, Gina, and I went to the leper colony for souvenirs. Then, we were graciously invited to lunch by the Bangladesh UN engineer base. It was so cool to meetContinue reading “It’s Not What You See”

That second Monday was the first day of July. The men worked on their projects in the morning as much as they could, although it was very wet. After lunch, they went to the leprosy and tuberculosis rehabilitation colony to shop for souvenirs. I helped Kathy with a watercolor paint class in the morning andContinue reading “This is How I Write”

I know. This is long overdue. I’ve been home almost a week, and I’m finally getting back to this. I’d say I’ve been busy and stuff, but let’s face. I’m just lazy. Can you all forgive me? I hope so! Anyway, the most recent post is up! Enjoy! And comment. That way I know whatContinue reading “So Sorry!!”

Sunday, June 30th was a very interesting and special day. Our group split up and attended five different churches in Ganta and surrounding villages. We spent a leisurely afternoon chatting together and simply relaxing after a week of hard work. On the way back to the guest house, we stopped at Liberia’s northern border withContinue reading “Out, Up, and Open”

I’m traveling this weekend, so I’ll be postponing the rest of the recap until I get home on Monday. Sorry guys!

Our first Saturday was pretty busy. We got to sleep in a little, then boarded the bus to go visit another college about two hours away. We returned, ate a quick lunch, and had our last VBS. It was a smaller one, with only 40 kids attending. We had 80 come the night before, whichContinue reading “More of the Same”

The weather in Africa the first week we were there was dry and hot. But on Thursday night it rained. It rained and it rained. I honestly don’t know that I’ve ever heard it rain so much. Here’s what I noticed Friday, June 28: “The rain gauges say we got five inches of rain lastContinue reading “What Do You Thirst For?”

Our first day of VBS was on Thursday, June 27. We had 60 kids attend. We had three classes, where the kids made salvation bracelets, a mural with painted hand prints, and tambourines. Afterwards, we came back together for a skit, a lesson, worship, games, and refreshments. I was in charge of the tambourine station,Continue reading “Fun with the Kids!”

Wednesday, June 26 continued in the same fashion. Breakfast, work in the library, lunch, work in the library, dinner, and back to the guest house. I cataloged roughly 130 books. I had a big epiphany that day. I was reading Psalm 56 and verses 3 and 4 caught my attention. Here was my thought process.Continue reading “Dealing With Doubt”
