WHAT HAS HAPPEND SINCE ...

"NATOTELA Africa" = "THANK YOU Africa"

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE...

2007 -2009-- The majority of these two years I lived in Africa as a career missionary.

March 2009
-- Following furlough to the 'states’, we discovered mom needed another major foot reconstructive operation so I remained in the states to assist my family.


June 2010 --Following a choice of sin with an African man I loved (Mwenya), I lost my first child in a miscarriage. Mwenya and I feel a void, yet we believe God is the one who "gives" and "takes away" and we rest in peace knowing our son (Buanda) is in the arms of the Almighty God. Praise Jesus for His forgiveness and grace which continues to redeemed and restored me.

2011 -- I remained state side with my parents to assist my father who struggles with many health conditions and pursue Therapeutic Massage -my career prior to moving to Africa 2007.

January 2012- August 2012-- I graduated from D.T.S '[Discipleship Training School ] in Livingstone, Zambia. The D.T.S. is a prerequisite course for the 1 year [B.A.S Birth Attendant School], a High Risk Midwifery School with University of the Nations.

September 2012-June 2013 -- My Midwifery class completed our clinical application midwifery training in India, Tanzania and Zambia. I am honored to offer the first prayer over newborns as they enter the world into my warm hands.


June 2013 - Current --I began IPHC (Introduction to Primary Healthcare) in Worcester, South Africa through University of the Nations. This course will allow me to basic medical skills to serve an entire village, not only mother and child.

... And someday operator a Medical/Maternity clinic in the depth of Africa or other developing lands among the Unreached People Groups.

Life in the Village

Last week I moved to the village of Mwandege Tanzania working in a local clinic  and mingling with the village locals YWAM Style!

Shredding Coconut and Sorting Rice for supper. Team work!

I shaved fresh coconuts for coconut rice each day. Mmm Mmm

Admiring cutie-pies

Cracking and Shredding Fresh Coconuts
Buildings on the base
Washing dishes in the red tubs, and clothes in the cement sinks while sweet water awaits to be drank from the tap
Homemade bread is made nearly every morning and it's YUMMY in my TUMMY
Laundry blew with the fresh tropical breeze to and fro
Wilson cooked us up some delicious grub :) 
Our team visited (together) our first time around

Housing, classrooms, local school and New Diagnostic Treatment Center
Sorting Rice, Shredding Coconut ... Down on the farm so to say
Cooking over an open fire, using the pounder to make meals, and the store room
