Happy Easter!

Today is that day when we all eat too much candy, hunt for eggs, and praise Jesus :).  Today after eating brunch with my family we dyed Easter eggs and then I got into a picture taking mood. Below are quite a few of the results :)
















I hope you all are having a wonderful Easter! 
P.S. We leave in 22 days!!!!

ONE MONTH!!! :)

In exactly one month from today we will be on a plane to Sierra Leone! How exciting is that!?  As you can all imagine I am feeling very excited/nervous/anxious/ecstatic/etc.... So I have been going through some pictures on friends' facebooks, blogs, and the Raining Season website this morning.  Here are a couple of my favorites I thought you all would enjoy!

Formula, Flip Flops, and Diapers ... Oh My!

Ok folks...  In approximately 38 days I will be on a plane to a third world country half-way across the globe. WOAH.

We are finally beginning to get an agenda of the things we will be doing during the six short days we are in Sierra Leone while we are there and below you can see for yourself :)

  • Visit children's hospital to pray over mothers and children and provide gift/food items.
  • Love on children at orphanage daily and participate in their worship on Sunday at the Center
  • Visit the beach.
  • Visit another area of Freetown, either Kroo Bay, the slums or another orphanage and again provide some sort of gift or feeding in that area
  • Assessing and training of staff and kids at the orphanage for academic statuses
  • Hand out the t-shirts purchased through our fundraiser (you can still get one if you would like to!)  
  • Take the teen moms out to eat or do something else with them.
  • Daily small group activities with the kids at the orphanage.
  • Etc. 
Also to all who have been following my journey, if you would like to send anything to the children of the orphanage please let me know (wilsonh1@central.edu)! They are in need of these three main things:
        1. Soy formula
        2. Diapers
        3. Children's flip flops
Thank you to everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful April day!

PS- Here is Lucy in her first Central shirt!!!! There is a 50/50 possibility we may be bringing her back with us! Dr. Diers got a visa appointment for while we are there! Be hoping and praying that they say yes!!!
