Tomorrow I'm off again...another trip to the airport. I feel sometimes that the airport is more of a home than my actual "home" is...whatever and wherever that may be as I moved out of my place just before flying off to the UK. My next destination: Burkina Faso. Exact location: unknown. Job: Nurse with some advisory capacity. Purpose: varied medical endeavors. Yup, it really is all up in the air at this point. But then again, I am traveling to Africa where time has a completely different meaning. So, I think of it as a slight advantage that I am "in the dark" as to my exact duties and locations while in Burkina. Whatever happens happens. I just am stepping forward in faith and trusting that God will work through my own inadequacies and weakness to accomplish His purpose.
Burkina Faso happens to be one of those places that most people say to me when I say, "I'm going to Burkina Faso!", reply with, "Where is that?" Even a good African friend said to me that Burkina Faso (in comparison to my last trip to Zambia) is relatively backwoods. So, I am expecting little and hoping for much. Please pray for me as I step into a country unknown to me so that God's light will shine brightly!
I have had a wonderful last two weeks of vacation in London visiting and catching up with friends and finally. I have visited old haunts and have (unfortunately) gorged on way to many greasy (fish and chips) and fatty foods (cakes, pies, puddings, etc., etc.). I visited good friends in Oxford and experienced life as a "student," stepping into the colleges and participating in May Day (except for the bridge jumping part of course!). I am truly blessed that I could return and visit. To all my London friends, thank you.
Well, I'm off to sleep. It's an early start tomorrow!
