# 41 Mission Trip

The 10-day mission trip to South Africa last year; called “Nurses For Africa” Their mission is to provide medical care and HIV/AIDS education to patient and the surrounding population; It needed applicants for a mission trip.
Adrian Warner is our Nurse care plan coordinator in Rosewood; she’s one of my good friends at work. She said, “As soon as I read it, she knew, she wanted to go.” And right away, she turned her application and received an acceptance, and been a member since of the 16 special trained nurses sent to the Republic of Zambia in Africa. I am so proud of her to hear that there are people like Adrian that go to other countries not for a vacation but to serve other people who are poor, like Africa without pay. She said it’s very scary but her heart tells her to go and served.
Adrian said, it was a very shocking sight for her when she visited one of the schools. The school did not even have any chairs or desks for the kids to sit at during lessons. “They would sit on bricks or in the cold dusty floors. She also said, everybody was amazed of how these people survive; family member dying of sickness and hunger, and they never complain about anything. In fact they have so much faith in God and they never feel like he has forsaken them,” Adrian said, In fact they have a motto “ God is good all the time” and she can see that the love they have in their heart.
Adrian said, she couldn’t express how this mission trip changes a nurse’s heart; her parents, husband, and three children have all expressed interest and support in going on a mission trip with her. Adrian, inspired many nurses at work and now She's getting ready again for her next trip in Africa this coming July.
