So I'm a little late in updating about visitors, but I thought you might want to meet my sweet friend Jane who was here for a long visit in August working with Living Hope. Jane and I met on a Sweet Sleep missions trip to Moldova in the summer of 2007, attended Kairos together, were in the same small group after that, and became dear friends along the way. Jane has a passion for missions and is also a nurse, so it was wonderful to have her here as my nursing sidekick for two weeks. Having another nurse to share the heartaches and joys of nursing was invaluable to me. Jane is currently a labor & delivery nurse at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, so if you are planning on delivering at Baptist, you should ask for her!

I've been so blessed with visitors since I've been here, and each one has had a unique impact of my experience. Having people visit you on the mission field is one of the neatest opportunities to share your passion and it gives them a chance to see what missionaries do everyday. It's a win-win for everyone!

Here's some photos from Jane's trip:
