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.
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.
On Monday, I have officially been out of the States for 3 months. On Tuesday, I officially have been in country for 3 months. And on Wednesday, Cameron Guy Saunders, 7 1/2 lbs, 20 in., was born. I am adjusting to my new world here. I have a full house, with 5 girls under one roof. My project, as you can read, has moved, and yet I still know which direction to go home in in the midst of the maze of Kibera. Curfews, new foods, different currency, different humor. My nephew, Cameron, is adjusting to a new world, too. They say that there's nothing exciting about the first few months of a baby's life, and I guess that's true. But just crying, sleeping, and pooping sounds like Heaven when you can't be there for it. He will have to adjust to his new life in New Jersey without his Aunt Sa. It's happened before. But I hear that it can cause serious problems down the line, unless there is an intervention, say, around 9 months old?? Congratulations, Lesley and Billy!! (and Angel and Erynn, big sis'!)

Congratulations Auntie! Quite possibly Lesley will permit you to "catch up" on your Auntie duties and change some of those diapers when you return?!
