Im tired but this is what I signed up for. God willing I came and God willing i shall push on.












Hello Everyone.
I first of all just want to thank Pete and Paul and everyone with the Grace Mission Team to Tanzania for letting me go this year although I was in Uganda. It means a lot and I was so blessed to have an opportunity to serve God out on the field like that.
Secondly, I would like to thank my Mom and Dad for letting me go to Africa for many months! I guess this is somewhat like drum corp though, Haha, only im in Africa and across the whole Pacific Ocean.
Most of all I thank my heavenly Father for Leading me according to his will. And Im so Glad I prayed for something according to his will. Because although the bible says, “If you ask not you will receive not” we have to understand that God will provide whatever we need according to His will and not ours. So this means that if you ask for something that God doesn’t want you to have weather it be reasonable or not, appropriate or not, clean or unclean, its not his will so don’t be all disappointed because chances are that God has something better in store.


I must say, I am a little sad. It was very nice to spend almost two weeks with an amazing missions team (including some of my best friends). It was a blessing to fellowship with a good bunch of Very Godly people from back home. I really learned a lot… they left today to go back home and Im about to make the trek back to Uganda.
But non-the less God has givin me strength and Im not ready to go home. I have a lot of unfinished teaching, which I am very eager to start up again. ( im going to be extremely busy so please pray for that. )

Hey I finished that poem. And I think the second part really makes it complete. So here it is again. Haha
Oh and I made it a song. As well as three others.
So far I think ive writtin like 4 songs here in Africa. Maybe I can get like three more by the time I get home. Ohhhh wait 5. Yeah. Psalm 98.
Yeah. Read that psalm. 98. Its amazing and I think its my favorite psalm now because it applys to me so well(Christina, I think you will like it a lot too. It has to do with music. )

The Man that paces .
He turns when he sees Faces
In lost Fervor he Walks
For he is a Tree in the Fall
When he Fears that no one will Call.

Those who Stand in the Street.
They Station Stopped at their Feet
In ignorance and deception they stand
For many have become before me
But when they came they could not see.

These blue stain glass windows gleam
They glow like the water of His stream
In truth and assurance this room resounds
For though the false futile heart Scorns,
Within these four walls, Your voice adorns.

As empty vessels we planted a seed
For those with weary hearts in need
Now is the time for the lord to water
So that he can harvest the children of God.

Here are some pictures! i hope you all will enjoy them.

Oh and pray for a safe trip back to Mbale, Uganda.

GS jr.! Hey Brother! We are home!! And I miss Tanzania already! I have slept in my own bed and had a nice long shower and a dose of cool air(and some pizza!) and I'm ready to return to the field! Well maybe after tonight when I have some mexican food then I will be ready! Miss my brother Scooter already too! You were missed at synergy last night and we told everyone you are well and doing wonderful work, which you are.
I will keep praying for you so keep teaching and singing and sharing God's word with boldness.
