...will be in the Philippines!!!
It's finally time! I leave Mississippi tomorrow and head up to north Alabama(I think it's appropriate to add in a "roll tide" for my friends reading this even though I'll be a little more north than that) for orientation. Then, after several days of training, we will be on a plane headed to the other side of the world. Really.
I ask that you continue to lift my team and I up in your prayers.
Pray for safety as we travel.
Pray for our families back home.
Pray for the people we will encounter and the children we will fall in love with.
Pray for our stomachs as we encounter new/different foods(I know that seems like a selfish prayer, but sometimes it makes transitions difficult).
Pray that we will remain obedient in Christ's plan for this summer.
Pray for language barriers to be broken down.
Pray for new opportunities.
You're prayers are constantly being felt.
Thank you so much.

19 Days...
...that's how many days my countdown says I have left until I board the plane with 3 of my friends to head to the place I fell in love with this time last year- the Philippines.
It's crazy to think that this time last year I was so anxious to get there and I had no idea what to expect. There were so many things going through my mind, and I just wanted to board the plane and experience it all for myself. Little did I know that spending 7 weeks in a foreign country would cause me to fall in love with the people there. I left there wanting to return soon... and now I am.
I'm still in unbelief at the amount of support that I have gotten from people in my church, my family, friends, people at school, and so many others as I have begun this adventure once again. I cannot thank people enough for the encouragement, financial support, and most importantly prayers that have been sent my way. My team and I are blessed incredibly because of it.
So before I leave the country, I want to invite you all to go along with my team and I this summer by following our journey through this cool invention called blogging. I love to write, so I figured, "what better way to keep them updated than keeping a journal that they can read?" We will be able to post about once a week and in that week's update, I'll be sure to fill all of you in on what is going on with our team and what the Lord is doing over there. Please keep us in your prayers. We need prayer warriors...big time.
For those of you who followed my journey last year, you'll know kind of what to expect. For those of you who didn't, be prepared for some funny stories, heartbreaking stories, strange foods, and exciting memories that I will let you all be a part of.
Thank you all again!
