This past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel with some of the girls I work with to PA to visit some of their Amish relatives. It was neat to get an unbiased view of how they really live. Trust me, it is NOT how it looks on tv! I learned to drive a horse and buggy and also a standard car. The horse and buggy was way easier! :)
In other news, the trip to the Republic of Congo that has been in the early planning stages for awhile is finally taking place at the end of December. I am going with my younger sister and our two friends. I am excited because I'll be able to work a lot in the hospital and gain valuable experience. My sister is the communications assistant for the Harvey family while they are in Congo so she is going to get a better understanding of how the hospital works so she can help others with questions. Our two friends Mike and Ryan will be going along to help with the many construction projects at the hospital. These 6 weeks will be a stretching time for all of us and getting us out of our comfort zones. I have been to the jungle 3 times but never with close friends. It will be neat to share the experience with them.
I have a few things I would appreciate prayer for:
*The upcoming trip to Congo. Pray that the Lord would provide for our needs. He never has failed and I am confident that He will provide. It's just sometimes the waiting period is hard.
*My sister and brother-in-law are expecting another little one in December. Pray for a safe pregnancy and delivery.
*Pray that I will be a witness for the Lord wherever I am, especially at work.

Here is proof that my friend Ashley and I drove a real horse and buggy :)
I love these girls. What a fun group to go on an adventure with!
