Thank You Letter

So, 2 months+ since I've been home and I'm FINALLY sending out my thank you letters to all of the people that supported my financially, emotionally and spiritually for my Mission Trip to Uganda. I think I've been still wishing so badly that I were back in Uganda, that I haven't wanted to re-live all of my experiences and even put them in writing...that would be the finality to the trip. I know it sounds weird but there's times I don't even want to talk about my experience because that means it's in the past and I'm not there anymore and don't know when I'll be able to go back. I dealt with so much anger when I came home because I was not ready to leave, I didn't want to leave and felt like that was where I should be. After dealing with the anger, I KNOW that I'll be back, I just don't know when. It truly can't come soon enough.

I'm also dealing with the "reprucussions" of being gone for so long, financially. I put our family in quite a difficult position not working for alost 4 weeks and unfortunately during that time, things were slow for Anthony as well. I am doing everything I can to get back on track, but it is extremely frustrating after working so hard last year to save and get myself prepared for this trip...I feel like although I had an incredible experience, I'm paying for it now. For me, it's WORTH every penny that I DON'T have...for Anthony, he didn't get the experience that I did, therefore, he doesn't really see my side. I understand that and all I can do is just keep on working as much as possible (which is only part time). The Lord knows our needs and I believe He will provide for us 100%...I just pray it's sooner than later! :o)


Below is my 2 page letter that I sent out to my supporters. Putting my experience down on only 2 pages was BRUTAL! I could write tons of pages for each day that I was there, but this will have to do. Thank you for those of you who prayed for me, I am so grateful and definitely felt the prayers while I was there! Please continue to pray that the Lord will give me peace and patience through these next few months!
