I'm going back in May!



I recieved an email on Jan 27th that my long-term application at Iris Ministries was accepted and I have been invited to return to Mozambique in May for a one year term. I will primarily be working as a nurse in the baby house where there are around 30-40 birth-4 yr olds living. There will be a western nurse's aide and a mozambican nurse to assist me. Another western nurse is arriving on base in May as well and will be taking over the HIV/AIDS program. I will be assisting her with the 9 or so baby house children affected. I feel so blessed for this opportunity and want to thank each of you for all the support, guidance, prayer, and encouragement you have given me.

Until May, I will be on a travel nursing assignment in Phoenix, Arizona with a few friends, working in the Neonatal ICU at Phoenix Children's. Upon completion of my assignment May 3, I will return to Nashville, begin packing, and then spend a few weeks with family and friends before heading to Africa. I can't wait to update you more in a few days. I will begin sharing information on fundraising and details concerning support as soon as i get settled in Phoenix! Praise to the one who knows all things, plans our paths, and steadies our footsteps. His ways are wonderful and mighty. I am so thankful for each of you!
