March 2017 Update

Hello friends and family! Yes the blog looks different I thought it could use an update! Let me know if you have any problems navigating it.
We are now half way done with our school! It seems crazy that we are already at this point, only three months left to go. God has still been teaching me to love the women here well. Which as you know in any relationship knowing how to love well can look different for each individual person and can sometimes be hard to do.
            I have been thinking about the future and what I will do after this, and honestly, I have no idea. However, I have been enjoying the times I get to teach here and look forward to teach more. I love teaching on missions and encouraging others to get involved. I think we live in an exciting time for missions. Now more than ever the nations are coming to us, what an opportunity and privilege we have to share the love of God with them!
            I also have been loving Homer. I have such a good community here and the church I am involved in is amazing. It’s small but so filled with faith and love. They have made me feel so welcome and every Sunday the sermon is exactly what I need to hear. I took off  this past week and went home to visit family and friends. My sister and I were able to go to WA and visit our parents for a week and have a good time of rest there. It was so good to see them. I also enjoyed those of you I was able to see in AK as well. Thank you all for welcoming me home and loving me. I am so blessed to have a great community of friends and family.

*Prayer requests. Please pray that God would make clear his next steps for me. I still have three months here but I feel that now is the time to start praying into what is next.

Be Blessed,
Kylee Nicholas

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...
