Well, My name is Yesenia Sosa and this will be my blog speecifically for my stay in Africa. I will try my best to keep everyone updated on here.
Truth is I have never done a blog before or kept a journal. But, I know this is one of the best ways to keep everyone updated as I serve as a missionary in Chad. What I will be doing there from my knowledge is a vast varaity of things. I will be under the supervision of the Doctors in charge of the Bere Adventist Hospital there. I have been in communicatin with them through email and they seem like wonderful people. I have much respect for them as they along with their family have given their lives for the sake of serving others. That to me is astounding. If I could make any difference at all while I am overthere that would be all I could every ask for. I have always wanted to do this. Specifically in Africa. Wow, God sure does answer prayers. I will be going with my bestfriend Vianay. She has a blog as well, I'll be sure to mention it on here at some point. She is my sister, I am excited to go on this journey with her. I am suppose to depart August 3rd, and wow that came quickly. As the departure date is approaching I can't help but be filled with all kinds of emotions. I am excited, nervous, scared, sad, happy, excited. I really have no idea what to expect but God has been opening doors like crazzy. The process to go has been nothng short of smooth. I know that is all God. I give all the glory to God. Even as we have heard about the recent bombings in Chad, God has given nothing but peace to me and my family. Through this whole process God has given my family and I peace that passeth all understandings. I know God will be with me. When I am alone, I hear his still small voice saying, "I am always with you." Boy, that gave me chills but such peace. I am at peace with my decision to go and serve. I have no idea what to expeect but I am definitly nervouse. I know I believe in a God that lead Jonah to ninava, Saved three hebrew boys from a firery furnace, kept Daniel safe in the lions den, lead Esther to save Israel, helped David defeat Goliath, saved my brother Tony from pulmonary embalisms. God is good and he will never leave me nor forsake me. This is going to be hard but all things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. (Phillippians 4:13) May you all be blessed as you join me in my journey. I give all the Glory to God.
