Morocco Trip with YCEW
From June 18 to July 20, I was able to visit Morocco with the Northwest Yearly Meeting’s YCEW team (Youth Challenged to Expand their Worldview). Among other things, the team of seven youth and two leaders visited workers in Morocco, led a weeklong VBS, worked at an orphanage, visited with Moroccans, helped at an American- style school, and rode camels. Because of this experience, several of the youth felt that God might be asking them to consider working in a foreign country. What a blessing it was to be a part of this group. Check out our blog at ycew.blogspot.com to see pictures and read team members’ postings about the trip.

Northwest Yearly Meeting
From July 22-28, I was able to attend Northwest Yearly Meeting sessions. I helped with the youth program, attended the Mission Rally and mission board meetings, led a couple of workshops, and enjoyed connecting with friends and family who were attending for the whole week or just for an evening.

Deputation
After yearly meeting I was able to begin traveling to various churches to share with them about the call that God has given me to go and teach in Rwanda. It’s been a pleasure to be able to share with so many people and to experience their encouragement and support.
