Location

Hi guys! I'm sorry I haven't been able to post any pictures yet, but it's kind of difficult when you can't use your own computer! But anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that after a lot of prayer our group has decided to go to Rwanda and Kenya! I would really appreciate it if you could all pray that I would make it through my needles without freaking out and wanting to back out of the trip! Email me! Love you :)

AFRICA!!!

Hi everybody!! I just wanted to let you know that we will be going to AFRICA for outreach!! We're not totally sure on the exact location, but we know it'll be in northern africa. I'll post more tomorrow after our time of intercession and we figure out our exact route. Love you all!

Home sweet temporary home!

Hello everybody! wow, what an experience coming here. First of all it's absolutly beautiful here and everyone in the house is really nice. I'ts kind of a challenge though for me to stretch myself and make friends. I'm such a shy person so to put myself out there is so difficult. In total there is 15 students- 4 guys and 11 girls. Lots from the states and canada and one from sweden and one from england. I can tell this is going to be a really great experience for me and I'm so excited to see what God is going to do not only through myself but through our entire team. Please continue to pray for me, the homesickness is starting to settle in and so that's making things alot harder. Love you all!

Leaving

In about an hour or so I'll be all packed up in the car and ready to leave for Calgary. It's so sad to leave the familiarness of home. I didn't expect it to be so hard to say good-bye to everyone. I know that God's calling me to California, but emotionally I feel like I'd rather just stay home.
We'll arrive in Calgary sometime around midnight and spend the night at my dads sisters house. On friday we're going to do a little bit of shopping, pick up the last few things I need, and then go to my grandma and grandpa's house for supper. On saturday I have to be at the airport by 10:00 so that I can make my 12:00 flight. I think only mom and dad are going to bring me to the airport. This will be my 8th time on a plane, so I'm not nervous about flying, i'm just a little bit nervous about navigating my way in the airports by myself! Pray that I don't get lost! My next post will probably be in a couple days once I get settled into my new 'home'. God Bless!

Getting Ready

Hello everyone! This has sure been an eventful past couple weeks! Trying to get ready for Christmas and DTS on top of it. Now that Christmas is over I feel like I can really focus on getting ready now. Packing is coming along slowly but surely, and I'm hopeing to snag some time to do some more of it today. It's been so amazing to see how God has taken care of me financially. I was so worried about not having enough money to go before, but it's just been incredible to have all of this support coming in. I'm so thankful for my church who is willing to support me like this. Only 5 more sleeps till I leave for Calgary!

Ahhhh!

OH. MY. GOODNESS. I AM MOVING TO CALIFORNIA IN 20 SLEEPS!!!!!

Faith...

It always seems that when things are going really great something has to pop up and spoil it. I thought all my dental nightmares were over...that is until about 3 days ago. With only 31 sleeps until DTS starts I cannot afford to have any more dental problems right now. If this turns serious it has the potential of post-poning my missions trip. It's a lot of stress and a lot of pain and I just don't feel ready to battle either of them at the moment. However, it's pictures like this one that I posted that remind me to keep the faith and that God is present in every situation. I'm doing my best to keep believing that an end is coming to all these dental problems. For anyone that reads this, PLEASE PRAY!!
