The Beginning of New

 

Wow! What a year 2023! It was the end of old and the beginning of new!

Formation 2024 was a learning experience of myself, spiritual revelation, scripture, Lay Mission-Helpers Staff and the Association’s impact throughout the world. It allowed the sharing of previous missionaries’ experiences, their lessons learned, and gain support from caring and service-oriented individuals for the journey to come.

During formation, the knowledge gained prepared me for travel abroad within cultures and environments that I had not previously experienced, mitigating the apprehension that comes with this journey. Of course, there is still a bit of anxiety, not only of what is to come in a foreign country but what has not been resolved at home before boarding the plane. One item that has not been resolved is that my house still has not been sold. I can only pray that it will sell within the next couple of months or only God will be able to determine my next steps.

However, a new journey is always exciting. The anticipation of learning about another culture, meeting new people, and traveling is wonderful.  Being able to use the talent that God graced you with on a mission that may have long standing impacts to the development within another community or country is a blessing. I have been missioned to the Diocese of Kabale in Uganda, at St. Ignatius University by Bishop Callist Rubaramira to assist with the development of their Education Department.

I am packed and physically ready! I am almost mentally ready! Looking forward to the journey of 2024.
