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.
