Well, I’m home! I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything lately, but adjusting has been more difficult than I thought. 

It is SO great to be home with my family and friends. Especially since we welcomed Esther Moriah Causey into the family on December 17th! She is so ti...

What an amazing last few weeks it has been! As you may or may not know, our team planned to do a mission trip in the middle of September to Botswana and Zambia. At the last minute it was cancelled for various reasons. One being that the bushmen we were planned to minis...

I have been here 254 days.

I only have 68 days left. 

That’s a little more than two months left here in this beautiful place. Two months. 

That really isn’t that much time in the grand scheme of things. 

Where did my time go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was gi...

I can’t believe I’m writing this post! I remember when I first got to Africa and I thought about how far away August seemed. It seemed like eternity until I would get to see my parents again. But here we are. They have come and gone. And now I have less than three mont...

I’m not really sure where to start. 

This past month and a half has been a turning point in my time here in huge ways.

Since my last update, so many fun things have happened! Here is an update of the highlights:

I’ll start off by sharing a picture of where I live. I took this a while ago and wasn’t sure if I ever shared a picture of the two houses on the farm. I live in the main house (...

Seasons change. I’ve always heard that phrase and people talk about the different seasons they are in. But what does that actually mean? I had no idea. Literally, no idea. But this past week, Emoyeni hosted two pastors from Durban to speak at a pastor’s conference. One...

Sometimes I look around and think about what God has been doing it my life and it just takes my breath away. 

I can’t believe I’m here. 

Sometimes that moment comes when I’m laying in bed at night right after I’ve talked to my family back home. Sometimes it comes when...

First of all, I would like to apologize for my lack of blog posts. These past few weeks have been crazy busy and I can update my blog only when I get free wifi, which is very rare. Especially when things are busy and there are teams here. But here I am, free wifi so I’...

I walked into this boy’s house blindly without really knowing much about the situation. I knew we were going to visit a child with HIV, but I didn’t know the emotional toll it would take on me. I had little background information on this young boy - we were speaking wi...
