Short Update: Moving Across the World

Moving across the World is something I can't quite describe. It is hard, it challenges me each and everyday, I am learning to be vulnerable with God and with people and I am clinging to Gods love. I am the only girl here at my school, and also the only American so I am doing my best to fit it. I would ask for your prayers and your love, as this transition is harder than I expected it to be. I appreciate all the Birthday wishes they made my day!! Thank you for all the love you are sending me, I can not get enough love and prayers so thank you for going to God on my behave. 
Love you all,
Karlie

Africa, 
Sorry everyone that it has taking me so long to update you all. It has been crazy transitioning to African life as I am sure you can imagine! All my travels went well, only moments of stress trying to navigate by myself through foreign airports, but thank you all for your prayers on that because I made it safe and sound! 
I posted a couple pictures of the base and the people that I am staying with here, they are all wonderful people and I have already been very blessed by them. I will tell you though that it is quite the transition moving from American to Africa and it has not come without some tears and homesickness and lots of prayers for guidance and strength. So please continue to pray for me and with me through this amazing journey I am on. 
Zambia is very hot and dry, but the last 3 days we have been blessed with rain so praise God for that. I am still adjusting and learning new things everyday about culture and time and food and slow internet (or no internet). So I am taking what I can get and I am happy with couple times I have gotten to connect :) 
School starts this Monday for me, and again I know many of you are praying but I will take all that I can get. So pray for this school and this country and these people.  Thank you for sending prayers before me and for continuing to pray and think about me. You all bless me so much and I hope to bless this place. I love you all! 

God Bless
