8 more days!

With school finishing up and my unfortunately small attention span for things that actually matter, I haven't been blogging nearly as much as I should have, and I apologize.  A lot of things have been planned for our upcoming trip that I'm very excited about and I would love to share them with you.  The ten days we will be in Uruguay, our team will be hosting LOTS of services for the church we are serving this trip, including a youth service, a pastor/leader service where our pastor, Charlie, will be lecturing, and a VBS for the Uruguayan children!  I am especially excited about the VBS, where I will be heading a small group and also doing a lot of skits and songs with the kids.  My mom and I have been preparing snacks and small toys to bring with us on the trip, which is a constant reminder that in a little more than a week, I will be leaving for Uruguay.  I'm still trying to wrap my head around that fact.  I would be lying if I said that I'm not nervous, but I'm trusting God to continue to mold me in this upcoming week into the person he needs me to be for those people in Uruguay.

Please continue to pray for my mother and me, along with the rest of our team.  Mom and I have been fasting sugar for the past few weeks (which is especially hard for me, because I love my sweets!).  Please be praying for God to ready me for this experience, because heaven knows, I'm not ready right now.

God bless you all! <3
