full circle

My previous post ended with me on my way to New York, where I spent a couple of days exploring before I left for the UK. Although I enjoyed the US very much, London was a nice change of scenery.

Ashburham Place
I saw some of the sights of London before taking a train down to the beautiful Ashburham Place, where we had the first week of our Facts & Friction course. Luckily the facts were good and the friction was not too severe. The second week of the orientation was held at the MAF International: Africa office in Ashford, Kent. This was a great opportunity to get to know many of the people 'behind the scenes' and learn how everything (and everyone) fits together. I left there feeling very orientated...

With the new Tanzania Program Manager and his wife
Thank you for all the prayers during this time. I learned a lot, improved my flying skills, trusting in God for even the smallest things and especially for those things I so often think I must do by myself.

You can see some of the photos of the UK trip here and here.

January 2012 has been set for me to start in Tanzania. Please continue to pray as I now set out to establish prayer and financial partnerships in order to serve as a full time MAF missionary.
