Hi everyone! I decided to create this blog so that my friends and family can keep up with me on my journey to Africa. 

Why The name?  well, Matthew 13:45-46 says- Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Anyone want to guess what Uganda's nickname is?
The "Pearl of Africa".  Coincidence? 


160 days until Africa  :)
