Two Months...

Hi everyone!

It's been a while.  A long while...but I'll keep things short.

I just wanted to update everyone on what's going on with me right now.  After much waiting and prayer I finally have big news!  Without further ado, I give you the second week in June 2012!  :)  The second week of June 2012 is when I will be making my way back to Mexico to stay for 2 years or longer.  It all seems so surreal, and I know I probably won't realize what's happening until I get there.  The same thing happened when I went to Africa and also when I visited Mexico last July.

It's been such a long time coming as well.  I graduated college in December 2008 and since then I have been wondering where and when God would have me serve others.  It's been 3 1/2 years since then.  I can't believe how slow AND fast time can seem to pass.  Now, at this very moment in time, I feel like time has flown by.  On the other hand, I remember through those years thinking that time was crawling along.  But here I am with only 2 months or so left here in the good ol' US of A.

I can't wait for this new journey to begin!  It's amazing how God has come through for me with money, sponsors and people who are praying for me frequently.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

I love you all! :)

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!
