Introduction

In the first post I completely skipped the introduction out of my excitement and fatigue. This blog is about John Ross, Evan Bower (myself,) and our trip to Zimbabwe. I came to this trip because I wanted so badly to do something bigger with my life than tend that bar at Starbucks. In my frustration with routine I applied for the summer trip to Zimbabwe through Solid Rock Church. I didn't even know if I a) would be accepted, b) had what it took to do this, c) was even supposed to go, given my lack of funds and needing to plan for more school in the fall. After making a brief list of pros and cons I decided to let myself go, if chosen. As God would have it, He opened up every possible door to the point where I basically discovered one day that I had woken up in Zimbabwe and will now be here till the end of August.
I can't speak for John, but I know God brought him on this trip as well. So, now we both have a divine purpose for being here and we're just trying to follow God, hoping He shows us what that is along the way.
