Seeing as this is my first blog EVER, there's a lot of pressure to get this one right. I guess I'm writing this one because I want to show people my blog but there's no posts, and I really wasn't expecting to post until at least May. I'm early.
It's April, and there's snow on the ground. It's constantly cold, with only a few teasers where it got over 75. In Nairobi, I'll be expecting a temperature between 65-85 year round. I have no sorrows about missing a winter here. I have no regrets about missing a few snowfalls. Yeah, snow angels are fun, but only in theory. Really, they are cold, and I think I'm allergic to cold. Maybe that's really why I made my blog early, and I'm posting early. I'm longing for the weather of Kenya.
What God makes is good, so I can only assume that cold weather is good. But does that have to mean that it's good for everyone? There is a season for everything, indeed, but I'm a one-season girl.
So...how'd I do?
Serving East Africa's biggest slum, Kibera, by showing Jesus Christ through AIDS home visits, literacy, and youth programs and telling Jesus Christ through relationships, bible studies, and outreach.

About Me
- Melissa Berg
- I am a missionary for one year in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya. I've always wanted to go to Africa to help with AIDS and here I am, by the grace and works of God! I will be involved in literacy and AIDS ministry. When I get back, I'm going to marry my love, Rob, carpenter by day, marathon runner by night. For the next six months, I'm dedicated to bringing Light to Kibera, in any way I can.
