Bonjour !
I just want to thank you all for your prayers, help, and support. You are all a major blessing in my life. I am sorry I have not updated this in a looonnngg time, but hopefully I can keep it updated every week or two. I am now in Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire. I arrived last night to the house they have here, and we will travel to the clinic in Korhogo in a couple of days. I cannot believe I am here! It is crazy, but God has been so good.
The last few months I have been working and getting everything ready. I had been studying for my boards A LOT for the past couple months. I took my NCLEX just a couple of weeks ago, and I found out that I passed. I am officially an RN. It was definitely all the Lord because I was pretty sure I had failed.
Then I was trying to get my visa, so I sent all the information in and had to send it to the embassy in California. It was late in getting back, so I did not get the package back till about 2 weeks before I left. I opened it, and my application was still in the envelope. I had a crinkled, hand-written note from the man saying he could not process it at this time, so he sent all my information back. I was so worried, but thank you all who were praying. I called the embassy the next day. The man was like "I could not process the stuff the one day it came in, but I can now." So with much confusion I sent it all back, and thankfully I actually got the visa in the next few days. The Lord has definitely worked everything out for be to be here, so I know this is where He wants me. Afica is very different, but I just hope that I can exhibit the love of Christ to all of these people.
So thank you all. Keep praying for me, and I will be praying for you. Hopefully I can provide more information and pictures soon!
Nan
