I always say I'm going to write on here more often, but then I don't. You would think I might more often as I have the internet readily available now (which by the way is so nice!).
Well here I am....
I never finished telling about my trip to Panama. It was just so good! God showed up each and every day and gave everyone strength in ways that we might not have expected, like when it was so stinking hot (which was every single day) and the students didn't think they could keep going, they did and God totally blessed them because of it. I just have so many great memories and made so many lasting friendships. God is just so good. I really need to get my journal out and then write more. I just loved it and am currently signed up to hopefully go with Big World Ventures and Never the Same Missions to Peru next summer. I'll be writing more about that on here and keeping everyone up to date with my financial situation.
Here is a God story for all you readers about going to Peru. In Panama they showed us a really cool video about the trip to Peru and I watched it and pretty much decided right then that I was not going to Peru. It didn't look very exciting, and I definitely did NOT want to fundraise, I wanted a nice normal summer where maybe I could go on vacation and just do what I wanted. Shortly after thinking that, I knew that God wanted me to go. I can still say that I'm not all that excited about fund raising but I do know that God wants me there next summer. I am not entirely sure why or even how I am going to get there but still I am willing to go and I know that God will definitely provide. And some pretty amazing people are going back as well, so I am sort of excited:-D
I think I'm getting sick, ugh!!! Seriously? It might have something to do with the fact that I worked 19 hours straight on Monday. What was I thinking?!?
Well speaking of mission trips, I am going to Honduras in almost a month!!! AHHH!!! :-D I can't wait! The trips to Honduras are always really refreshing because incredible people go, God shows up and we get to do surgeries for people who are actually grateful, even if you just fix up their ACL. I love seeing the joy on the Honduran faces as we help them and I love being able to do my job and serve my Creator as well. And I'm looking forward to going because my friend Lauren is going. We actually met on one of the previous trips to Honduras and I'm super excited to serve with her again! :-D
Well I think thats about all for now. I'll write more soon (notice I did not say tomorrow, hehe)!!!
