So I have been really bad about keeping in touch with people mostly because internet and cellphones have been a bigger pain to use than I thought they would be. Still that's not really the best excuse I guess. It's also been really hard to put into words what I have been experiencing here in Tanzania. If you asked me to sum up everything in one word I think I would have to say
hope. I came here thinking that when my feet hit African soil this switch would turn on inside of me and I would get back all of my heart and passion for Africa. Well boy was I disappointed when my heart remained in its state of really not feeling anything. I was angry with myself for not feeling the love I thought I should have for these people. The Lord slowly started to open my heart and I began to have hope again. Hope that I could love these people, hope that I was really loved and treasured by my Savior and people around me, just hope to live. I love that I am at the City of Hope!
