Greetings to you! I wanted to post a quick update and let you know how God has been working in my life since coming back home to Indiana.
When I came home from Kenya, I thought that I was supposed to be stateside for a time (had no idea for how long); reconnecting with family, possibly nursing school, ministry in my church, etc... Well, He certainly has given me plenty of opportunity for all of that and I have been so grateful for that. I took a job with a hospital here in Indianapolis as a tech in the ICU to see if I really did want to go back to school. As much as I have learned and still enjoy lots of aspects of the Medical field, I have decided that nursing is not where I feel God leading me. Through different means, God has grown my desire to return back to the mission field in Kenya! I contacted RVA as I was praying through this to see what their need was or if they would even have me back. I received a very encouraging email back from the dean of Women that I had worked closely with while I was there. They were so excited to hear from me and after some uncertainty about when, it was decided that they need me to come April of 2015 to cover a Senior dorm for a family so they can go on a needed home assignment during the 3rd term. I am so excited because I will get to have some of my previous girls in this dorm AND get to see my girls graduate!!! The plan would then be for me to start with my own new dorm for the following school year (2015-2016) and do another 2 year term from that point.
As of May 1st I was reinstated to AIM as an active missionary. I will now begin the process of building up my support team again and Lord willing, be able to go to Kenya in April of next year! I am blessed with the chance to actually return to Kenya with my Dad and sister, Rachel this fall for a few months and then will spend some concentrated family time in the winter/spring before heading out sometime early April.
I will be sending out an official letter to all of you in the next month I hope! I wanted to send an email first so I could catch you up quickly on all these changes and then go from there. Also, if you have a change of address or email address you would prefer I use, just let me know!
If you no longer wish to receive emails or letters from me, please let me know. I won't be offended in the least. I am forever grateful for you, my team and partners in ministry. God has blessed me incredibly through you all.
I will be in touch unless I hear otherwise from you!
God bless you!!!! Serving with you,
Amy
