Guadalajara is a Go!

"This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose"

Hola amigos! (or/and amigas? idk)

The waiting period is nearly over for me.  Hallelujah!  (For missions, that is) 

I am in the process of looking for plane tickets for the end of May, and I'm super stoked!  Woot Woot!  I will be heading to a little place called Guadalajara, Mexico where I will be working with an orphanage for a little over a week.  As most of you know, I want to pursue full-time missions, and I have been praying for a long time about where, when and how long I should serve.  After years of waiting and learning to be extremely patient, I believe that things are coming together.  I am going to this orphanage to help out, but also to see if it is where God wants me to stay for a longer period of time to serve (1-2 or more years).

There had been 2 different organizations I had looked to go with on mission trips, but in the end God led me to a small orphanage, owned and operated by a couple from Cookeville, TN.  A wonderful women at my church helped to start the orphanage and it has been up and running for a year now.

I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing ministry and can't wait to tell you more about it!




See ya'll in the funny papers!
