Hello from Montana!

Hey there everybody!

So it has been a while since I posted anything and I thought I should give you a little update.

OK well the main thing is that I am living in Montana right now. I moved out here about a month ago and got an apartment with Mindy and Kate who are two of the girls that were in my DTS. I really like MT. It is so different when compared to NH. I am also discovering how stressful living on your own in America can be but it is a good learning experience for me:)

I still keep in touch with a lot of my classmates. I e-mail mostly with the ones from East Africa although Didier and I talk on the phone regularly. A lot of the students are now staff at various YWAM bases. I miss them all so much. It was so great to see Kate and Mindy after a summer apart. I will hopefully be spending a week in Seattle with Laura in October so I am looking forward to that.

I have not heard anything more from Selassie nor has anyone been able to get in touch with him. I will pray for him and think of him for the rest of my life. I trust God with his life whether I ever see him again or not.

As for my future plans...I will stay in MT until about May of next year and then will spend about a month with my family before heading back to Africa. My tentative plans for now are to go back to Rwanda in June for around a month to visit my friends and then head down to South Africa from there. The Primary Healthcare school in Worcester, South Africa starts in July so that timing should work. I am in the process of applying to that school now. Well, those are my next steps for now and then who knows where I'll end up!

I'll try to update once in a while but it's not as fun writing from the US as it was from Africa. I don't have any goat killing or amazing children to tell stories about here:)

Love, Isimbi Johanna
