25 days?! When did it get so
close?! Am I ready? I hope so! Nervous? Of course ;) Excited? More than you’ll
ever know! With it getting so close I am beginning to realize just how much I’m
going to miss around here this summer. My friends and family seriously got me
this weekend! They pulled off an amazing surprise going away party! Details below… :)
I get a
text from our youth twitter account that we were to meet at the church at 2:45 to
go out and help with tornado cleanup. Great! I’m excited, let’s do it! So I get
to the church early (because I’m early for everything) and then I am kid napped
by AJ and Hahkeem. (Random) so with a quick adventure all over God’s green
earth we finally get back to the church and they go running in before me. At this
point I’m like ok?! What is going on? All these cars were at the church and so
was my best friend Jenn’s from Oklahoma! WHAAA? Walk in, and “SURPRISE!!” It
was so amazing! They got me good! They seriously out did themselves. It’s just
proof of how I have the most amazing and best friends in the world! Thank you
so much for all you guys did. You have no idea how much it means to me. Love
you :)
I am
still waiting for my visa from Togo to come in. Hopefully it’ll be here by next
weekend. When that comes I am good and ready to take off! I leave Saturday May
31 at 10:30am. Now that it’s getting down to the wire I’m a little nervous. I’ve
never been gone this long. When I start thinking about everything I’ll be
missing around I get a little sad :/ but I quickly realize that I am where God
wants me to be. He told me 2 years ago in Tanzania that my work wasn’t done in
Africa. I am so blessed to be able to go back with Next Steps. I will be there
for June and July. I am so excited to see what God has in store for Togo and
our team. He truly has blessed this trip, even before we are there! I am SO
thankful. Please keep our team in prayers. Pray for safe travels, safety wile
overseas and that God will unify us for His greater purpose. I know He has a
great plan and revival in store for Africa! Excited that I was chosen to be a
part of it! :)
Keep
watching for updates J
I will update as often as possible, internet permitting, from the field. So,
until next time…
