The second month of the race has come to an end. Ministry in Africa is finished for the world race. In a week I will be in India, one could say it’s unimaginable that I am going to be living in India for 2 months. Ponder on this, next time you read another one of my blogs I will be in India. When applying to this route, I had barely heard about Lesotho before. It seemed like a place not visited by many and rarely spoken of, which could be because of its rather small perimeter and lack of population. It is clearly underrated in the United States but not to this soul. The experiences accomplished in Lesotho are those that out score any other. From seeing a local be struck by lightning and survive, to journeying 13 miles through the mountains for ministry in a unreached village, to exactly 30 people coming to Christ, to spending hours serving locals (washing dishes, watering gardens, scrubbing dirty clothes, mopping floors, sharing the Bible and prayer), to visiting natural rock springs and slide, to living in an amazing community (literally my team is a family), and to having the best host family ever. When first arriving in Lesotho I thought, “Wow! I have this confidence of thriving here in extraordinary ways wether that be spiritually, mentally, or emotionally.” I am glad to announce that those thoughts have been met. Our ministry family we have been living with are wonderful: Peter, Kayla, and their sons Jon and Jaime. My team and I have grown fond and close to the brothers. The two funny boys are polar opposites but have excellent qualities and personable characteristics. The aspect I will miss most of Lesotho are most likely our ministry family and the mountains. Many adventures have occurred in Lesotho that I could never trade for the world. God has done so much here and I feel like my time here is done. I came and did exactly what Jesus intended for me. His unending love for the Besotho people leaves a jaw drop. His grace and goodness extend to the ends of the earth. God has extremely grown me in serving, taking initiative, and showing me more of who I am. Goodbye goodbye Lesotho. I will miss you and I hope to visit you again.
