This started as a journal of my adventures to and in Africa. I never saw myself heading to the African continent, but I was there for about two years. I am now back in the US and trying to find my fit here. Where does everything I’ve seen and learned fit here? How do I help people understand my experience without being preachy or them being sick of hearing about “When I was in Kenya . . ..” I’m working through things and hope you can learn with/from me and me you.
I pray that this space will be a spot where I can share my life. I will talk about my work, what I’m learning, what I’m struggling with, my fabo vacas, cultural issues, justice issues and the like. I do not wish to sound preachy and hope you will call me on it if I begin to go there. Sometimes, though, words just aren’t enough, especially when they are typed here and read far, far away.

Hi Amy:
I was looking up missionary work through Google and your site popped up. I’ve always thought Nairobi would be a beautiful place to do mission work in. The work you’re doing is great, I had never heard the “candy” missionary term before, but I think all missionary work is important. God bless, keep up the great work, and you’ll be in my prayers.

Hi Amy,
My name is Monika Grasley and I am involved in Community Development in the Central Valley of California….and loving it.
I am also part of a CR Church in Merced and went to Kenya last year to a missions trip. We helped with a Medical Clinic, did training on water hygiene/handwashing practices and toilet locations and helped with some building project. We were in West Kenya, Kisumu and Kericho area.
Our next trip is scheduled in January and we are looking for some project we can be involved in.
Could you contact me so we can see how we can partner with the CRWRC in Kenya.
May God bless your stay in the US and may it be restful and refreshing.
In Christ,
Monika Grasley

Hi Amy,
My oldest daughter, Audrey, is involved in Awana this year and one of their projects is to learn about missionaries so, of course, we are studying all about you. Just wanted to let you know you are now famous in our house and soon at the Bible Church in Del Rio, Texas!
Keep your spirits up, it sounds like you are seeing many wonderful adventures! We will be praying for you and all that you are doing.
