Thank you so much to everyone for all of your support over this year. It has been so wonderful and I wish I could see you all and catch up with each one of you. But until then, we've at least got this blog, eh?
So what's next, you may ask? Well...
My plan is to go to graduate school this next year, starting in Fall 2009, to study Physician Assistant Studies. The Lord has been confirming in me the desire and need for me to go back to school, and I am confident in this next step. Please be praying that I will hear back from the schools and that He would lead me to the right place.
This Spring, however, I'm going to community college and taking some prerequisite courses, and working part time. I'm living in La Mirada, near where I went to college, and have had the opportunity to get plugged back into my church here.
Thank you for your continued prayers! Here are some pictures.
Saying goodbye to some of my friends in the pharmacy.
Goodbye to Harouna and Mati, my good friends!
Oh yeah, and I got my long hair braided into corn rows just before I left to go home! Kind of a surprise for my parents, that's for sure!
Bye bye, Niger!
Might I also add, I missed my flight from New York to Charlotte, so ended up having to spend the night in the airport on my Nigerien mat, nearly freezing to death in the dead of winter...
Yay! Back home at my parents' house for Christmas, with my dad's cousin Rhoda, who was visiting from Northern Ireland.
