My year in a post.


For the last month, it seems like every time I turn around somebody asks me with an intensely excited/jealous tone, “so what’s this I hear about you going to Africa?!” Well I’m very excited to talk about it, but after a while I forget who I’ve told about it and who I haven’t; It’s also quite time consuming to explain everything, and so at the suggestion of Ann Johnson, I have created a blog for people to follow not only my trip to Africa, but also the rest of my very packed out year.
I am going to give a brief overview of basically what my year is going to look like from a scheduled standpoint:
 March (when I am writing this) – June: I will be working and preparing for my trip to Africa.
12th of June – July 14th: I am blessed with the opportunity to be able to serve out at Camp Good News for 5 weeks this summer while still being able to do all the other things that I am planning on doing!
July 17th – October 2nd (roughly): I will be going to Zambia, Africa, and I will be working as a videographer for my uncle, Pete Fisher, who owns Nchila Wildlife Reserve. I will be videoing the hunts that he guides, on his property and elsewhere.  Is the position paid? Yes, although how much I don’t really know. Did I buy that nice camera just for this trip?! Yes and No, I actually didn’t buy the camera it’s my uncle’s; he left it here for me to practice with before I come out, and I will leave it out there with him when I come home. Are my travel expenses paid? No, I am planning on paying for my flights and hotel rooms. Will I see all my other family that lives in Africa? I sure hope so!! Will I get to do any hunting? Not likely although I would really love to! Can I take stuff out for them from you? Uhhh….. Probably not, because I already have told my uncle that I will be able to bring stuff out for him when I come. Can you come with me in my bag? Sure if you want to pay the overweight fees!!
Fall: I am prayerfully considering attending Ellerslie, in Colorado, for their fall discipleship program.  

I would appreciate your prayers through all of this because along the way, there are many decisions to be made and I need all the wisdom that I can get!! Thank you!
