March 2018 Update


Hello friends and family,
Wow it’s been a while since I have sent out an update! I apologize about that, let me catch you all up on what is new. Since August I have been working as a substitute teacher for the Anchorage School District and at a private preschool in Eagle River, between the two jobs I manage to stay busy. I have also been taking a Spanish language class which is something I have always wanted to do and I am loving it! Some of you may remember that about a year ago I started an online course to get certified to teach English as a second language, well I officially have three weeks left and then I am certified! I am so excited to be done with that.
In regards to going on to become a midwife I do not feel like that is something I am supposed to do right now, as some of you will remember me writing in past updates the state of Alaska changed a lot of it’s laws regarding entry level midwives and to work internationally in almost every country you need to be a nurse midwife, so this is something I am not working towards right now but it is something I am praying about.
Speaking about the future I am planning on staying in Alaska until the end of 2018 after that who knows what is next, it’s a great big world and we serve a great big God. I do however have an opportunity to go on a medical mission trip with Proyecto Fe to Guatemala in April!! I am so excited to go on my first ever medical mission trip. I will be going as support to the medical professionals, who will be giving free medical and dental services there. I am looking forward to sharing God’s love with anyone who will listen and can understand my broken Spanish. I do need some financial help with this trip ($2000) so if you would like to donate you can do so by following this link:

If you cannot donate as always, I would love your prayers! I am so excited to get back on the foreign mission field and see how God is moving in Guatemala! I look forward to updating you on that trip.
Ok prayer requests and praises: I am currently in a bible study with people around my own age which has been an answer to prayer!
I am currently looking for another job as school gets out in May, pray that I find a good one.
I am starting to pray about next year. My desire is to get back on the mission field more long term, pray that God will reveal the right ministry, visas, etc to me and that I would have patience to listen and wait on His good timing. Thanks again for all you guys do!
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 ...

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...
