I've decided to go to Uganda!
I've decided, after weeks and months of seeking God's design for this upcoming year, to teach in Uganda for the 2009-2010 school year! I know, many of you are saying, "What about Morocco? Has she lost her memory?" Nope, sorry. I declined the position in Morocco, and another in Suriname; both didn't feel like this was where I was being called to. I was offered a position teaching at Heritage International School in Muyenga, Kampala, Uganda.
Here's a link to the school, if you want to check it out!

I am so excited, not only because the school is wanting to use my various abilities in what I'll be teaching/coaching (6th grade, yearbook, volleyball, etc.), but also because this has just felt so RIGHT.
I struggled with accepting the two-year position in Morocco, and the kindergarten position in Suriname, but when this one arrived, it was just IT.
God has proven Himself so faithful to answer our prayers and provide in His time.
And there will definitely be more details to follow!
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." ~ Romans 8:28
"In all my prayers for [you], I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 1:4-6
