• Wow, this is the strangest feeling… I’m starting to wonder what we’re actually getting ourselves into!! What in the world are we doing leaving for two months!?! In a country where no one speaks English?? Now the whole idea sounds really wild and I’m getting a little scared.

  
  

  But really, it’s amazing to remember how this all worked out, and this whole trip is a gift from God. Right now though it’s a rush to try to cross everything (okay, not quite everything) off our 3-mile long lists… What gets done gets done, and what doesn’t – well, we’re not going to stress over it. We’re having a lot of fun getting out short-sleeved clothes and comfy summer clothes… Gotta love it! Even the thought of warm weather is comforting after this Pennsylvanian winter!!

  
  

  The four of us fly out on Friday,  the 20th, on 2 different flights, and my dad is coming down from Friday to Tuesday also to help get us settled in our new “home”, as La Union school welcomed us in an email. I can’t wait to just get a mental image of the city… Everyone tells me that I’m going to fall in love with it – that it’s every romantic’s dream. We’ll see!

  
  

  I am so excited about this two-month long “date” with God… I want my highest priority while I’m in the sunny south to be the SON. I thrilled about spending two months with God!! I feel like I really need something like this, an oasis, in my life right now… I know God has big dreams for this trip, and I just love holding His hand through it all!

  
  

  for the gals,
