July Update

Dear friends and family,
            Well I have been back in America for a month now. The first 3 and a half weeks were spent in Northern Washington visiting my parents and grandma as well as resting and figuring out my next plans. During this time I have decided not to return to ministry and to just “do normal life” for a while. I found a great used Subaru in WA and have driven up to Alaska with my dad, where I will be living and working for the foreseeable future. I have been blessed with returning to the job I left last August and living with some amazing family friends here in Alaska until I can get my feet back on the ground.
            For those in AK I did bring some Beauty For Ashes products back with me, if you are interested in hosting a jewelry party let me know! I would also love to see you guys as well as share in more detail what I was doing in Nepal. However just know that I will most likely not answer any questions about the earthquake as I am still healing through the trauma of it all.
Prayer Requests
Pray that I adjust back to normal life well and for the upcoming winter here in AK.
Praise: I got a job, a car and a place to live!

Lastly I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of those who have supported me and prayed for me while in Nepal, it has meant so much to me to know that I have people back home who care enough to send me e-mails, thoughts, money and prayers my way I really couldn’t have done it without you all.

Many blessings,
Kylee Nicholas



*Thank you so much for your love and support. As always you can email me at kyleenicholas@hotmail.com with any questions.

Feb. 2017 update

Hello friends and family,             We have successfully completed the second month and the first module (there are four modules total)! The days are getting longer and longer here and I feel that summer will be here before we know it. This past month has been interesting as we all have finished settling in and are finding how we all fit as we do life with each other.  If any of you have ever lived in community then you may know some of the joys and, dare I say it, sorrows that this type of living can bring. However it’s always worth it if we can help build up more considerate and community minded people in this world.             As well as enjoying my staff duties I have also started an online course to become certified to teach English as a second language (shout out to the donor who made that happen). I have been enjoying the course so far and I’m excited to see ...

June 2017 Update

Hello friends and family, Happy Summer! We have done it, we have made it to the end. This is the last week of GoMidwife Homer, AK 2017. We graduate the students on Thursday the 29 th and everyone will be heading their separate ways by July 1 st . It has been an interesting six months and God has grown me a lot though this past year. As far as staff duties it has been one of the easiest staff jobs I have had, but in regards to interpersonal relationships it has been the most difficult, but God is always faithful and he always brings life and healing if we allow him. I have grown to love Homer, AK and have been involved in an amazing church here. It will be so difficult to leave this place, but I am excited for the future and what God has in store for me next. So, what is next for Kylee? Well I am planning on leaving Homer on July 2 and moving back to Eagle River. I will be heading to northern WA in July to take a break for a couple weeks to visit my parents, process this past year...

Two years later or April Update

Hello friends and family,              *Ok warning. Please bear with me on this one. I’ve already wrote and rewrote this letter three times. It’s hard when you have so much to say to condense it to what you are about to read. April 25, 2015. Two years ago. Man I cannot believe it’s been two years already. I was in Kathmandu, Nepal in a hotel garden when the 7.8 earthquake hit. It happened on a Saturday which was my day off. I had plans to go to this older part of town where the houses are hundreds if not thousands of years old to explore and take photos. God had other plans however. Beauty for Ashes, the company I was volunteering with at the time, had set up a booth at a local celebration for the Dutch expats. I was not required to help since it was my day off but I felt strongly that I was to give up my day off and help. Thank God literally, for the prompting of the Holy Spirit. If I had not known what his voice sounde...
