Orientation

A couple weekends ago Hannah and I spent a couple days in San Diego with Hannah's mom! We learned everything w need to know about EAC and met the founder-Wilson, who actually grew up being a sponsored child through Compassion international and battled with his faith between Christianity and the prominent impact of his families beliefs. We also got to meet the two other American girls (Dylan and Myliegh) who we will be spending most of our time with. I am getting so excited and to be honest I am already missing my family and friends. Here are a few pics from our orientation. (:

Luggage

Today I bought some luggage from Marshall's!! I am in contact with ministry travel which is an organization that helps find cheap flights. Hopefully our departure date will be Sept. 10th (ish)

The waiting game

Hi Bloggers
I just wanted to drop in and say thank you for all of your support- I am getting really excited to embark on my missions trip! I will be setting a date soon to fly off soon, also making an appointment to get all of my shots-Ouch! (Not looking forward to that) God has been doing some serious growing in my life and reminding me that he is in control.

***Financially I am over half way there- thanks to the grace of God and all of your support!!

Recently I was accepted into Grand Canyon University and will be attending GCU in the fall of 2014. I will be studying nursing and continuing my passion for photography.

What's next if you have already donated?
Prayer! And LOTS of it- I cannot get there and accomplish what He wants me too without your prayers. Some specific ways you can be praying for me is:

-the rest of the financial support
-the God will be shaping my heart right now
-the people I will meet
-waiting on His timing and not my own
-continual meditation on His word
-encouraging others
-contentment right now while I am waiting
-focus in my last couple months at school

Again thank you for all your support- couldn't do this without you!! Talk to you soon.
