Corbin, my brother, & I are planning on leaving for Africa on September 15!! We are very excited........& a touch nervous :), but I think that it will be a great experiance. We will fly out of Seattle & land in London. There we will meet up with the Bentons, a family that we have been friends with since I was 7 & who have been missionaries in Tanzania for 6 years.

After we meet them in London, we will get on another plane which will take us to the Rukwa Valley in Tanzania. We will spend a month there ministering & playing with the African children, helping a missionary doctor, & possibly teaching English.

Then we will meet up with Uncle Steve & drive to Lusaka, Zambia and spend a month there.

Corbin & I are really excited to have this opportunity to see if God wants this for our lives. I have been interested in being a midwife/missionary in Africa for a while, so this is a dream come true!!

We have bought our tickets & are now in the process of deciding about shots. I will try to keep you all updated as we make plans and see how this process unfolds.
