hi, my Africa prayer team!

quick update:

i finally sat down and wrote out my testimony on saturday afteroon to
present to the team sunday morning. it went great. what a blessing. i
was able to do it in bite sized pieces, too, for the translator :)
thanks for your prayers.

my role in Dondo is getting clearer (in teaching music). it's more
about "worship" than just being a music teacher. and it's more about
just being me, not playing a role. funny that. please pray that God
continues to show me who i am and the unique way He's prepared me to
go and be me.

it's also about that i'm a warrior but my shield and sword are a drum
and a cymbal!! i can't wait to get over there and just play. that
feels like "me". but still awaiting vision/direction on any
preparations for classes, etc i should do before going. please pray
God continues to reveal His plans for me.

the team received some amazing prophetic prayer from rachel
and a few friends at anita's house tonight. i would love to share it
and/or my testimony with you sometime.

thanks for your support. please pray for my family's covering as i go,
especially my sister who is having some tests done to investigate some
numbness she's been dealing with for a while now. i think the hardest
part about going for me is leaving her and our 9-month, almost-walking Abe.
also say a prayer for my dad to get a bone marrow donor?

love you all,
jen

btw - my new boss, nathan, is wonderful. he's God's gift to me in this
new season. it's been a very hard transition out of my years as Office
Manager. but he finally started on monday and i already have been so
so blessed by him and can see glimpses of the freedom of what's ahead
for me as "executive assistant". God is good and knows what i need!
