Africa has begun and I am currently in Swaziland! Our days are filled with Care Point outreach and home visits. Care Points are feeding/education stations set up by AIM and G42 to provide children with a meal that may be the only one for the day. At these Care Points, my team and I create and administer children programs, build into the women running these stations, and share life with those around us.
On top of a new continent I am on a new team. We have done a 5 month change up and had to say goodbye to our old teams. Team Fugee is no more and has been replaced with Team Raw Fish. Although this switch was one of the hardest things I had to do in my life, I know that God is faithful and will allow my new team to be just as much of a family. It is never easy saying goodbye to something so great like Team Fugee. We spent 24/7 together. When you break that down into reality, I was married to these individuals for about 1.5-2 years. We went through so much together and had a bond that nothing can ever break. They will always be my first WR family and nothing will change that. It is going to be so hard not seeing them walk out the rest of this journey but I know that communication will not cease. I can still remember when my teammates opened up in ways they never had with anyone before. They shared things with the team that no other person ever knew before the Race and I the same. When you share a bond with individuals like that, something special is created; an unbreakable connection. I will dearly miss you Team Fugee and the 4 months we shared together.
I wanted to take some time to introduce my new team. We have decided to go with the name Raw Fish because that is our desire for each other. We want to be raw with one another not holding back and we want to see that mentality spread like Jesus spread 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed thousands. My new team is going to grow and stretch me in new and unexpected ways. My goal is to be open and ready for that change.
Karri (3rd to the Left): Quiet with a voice. A huge and important asset of this team as she brings her firm yet subtle drive to the table
Charlotte (2nd to the right): Firm, opinionated, but full of compassion. She is going to kick my butt and challenge me like most cannot
Kacie (2nd to the left): The lover of Team Raw Fish. She is always available to genuinely care about what you are going through and to love you in the process.
Philip (PC) (the only other dude): A man of God looking to experience all that he can and take others with him. A leader and spokesperson for Christ and His teachings
