5 Days!!

Hi friends! (all 3 of you who subscribe to this blog..haha. I'm sure more read it than actually subscribe.)

Well, I leave for Spain on Monday! Crazy, right?? I can't believe that this is actually happening....I've been dreaming about this since I was a little girl. I still have 3 finals this week, and I have to pack and get my life organized before I can leave...but I'm goin'! :) Here's a few updates...

The good news...I'm covered financially, praise God. A big THANKYOU to all of you who contributed in this way. Other good news...I've had a chance to study about the region I'm going to...and I'm really beginning to love this culture and the people already. I'll fill you all in as I learn more firsthand. But if what I've been reading about is true...I'm in for a crazy learning experience!

Please pray that:
- I will have a safe trip, with no dangers or crazy delays (I'm sure you all have heard about the ash cloud over the Atlantic Ocean that is cancelling many flights to Europe).

-I will be a relief and a blessing to the missionaries there. Their names are Trevor and Manoli.

-That I will adjust to the Spanish culture quickly and as painlessly as possible...so that I won't offend anyone...and so that I can thoroughly enjoy my time there with the people.

-Pray that I will grow closer to God through this time, and that He will give me clarity, wisdom, perspective, and guidance for the next stage of my life.

-Pray that people will realize that they cannot be satisfied without the life changing power of Christ in their life. Let us be an example of that power.


Okay, that's all for now. I'll keep you guys updated!!! :)
