2 weeks!

I just purchased my tickets, and I am leaving for Peru on December 12^th! 

That’s just 2 weeks away! Its crazy to think that this is all happening so soon. I am so excited.

I would appreciate your prayers as I prepare for leaving! 

-Specifically I ask prayer for speedy language acquisition. I am just now getting a slower work schedule and getting enough time to really study Spanish more intensively. I feel like I will be so much more effective in my ministry when I can effectively communicate in Spanish.

-My other big prayer request right now is for proper preparation, and that all I need (to fund-raise and gather) will come together in time for my departure.

I am so thankful for your continued prayers as I am now in the process of preparing all that I need in order to leave the country soon.

Announcement!!! Drumroll please.........

Hola todos!

This is my first post on my new blog, and it holds an important announcement...

This week I made my official decision...

  I am going to Peru!!!

I will be leaving for an extended missions trip to Peru in mid-December of this year! (yes, that's only about a month away!)

I am really excited. I feel like this is totally God's leading. He has opened so many miraculous doors to provide this amazing opportunity for me to serve overseas. I am just blown away.

Among other things, while I am living in Peru- I will be serving with a children's feeding ministry, living with a peruan family and learning Spanish.

 This blog will be to chronicle my journey, ministry, experiences,thoughts, prayer requests, things I learn, cultural info, stories and pictures, and much more, while I seek to serve God on this adventure in South America.
