Almost There!!!

I am only a week and a half away from leaving for my mission trip on Friday the 19th. I appreciate everyone who has donated toward my mission trip and made it possible. I am very grateful for all of you who have been praying for me and plan to continue while I am there. Here are some areas you can pray for, but mostly I feel better knowing that people are praying for me however the Lord leads them.

Praises:
  • I have received a total of $10,745 in donations, and I am almost to my goal of $12,400! 
  • My tickets to New Zealand are purchased!
  • I graduated from high school!
  • I do not need any more shots for a few months!
  • I have most of my supplies and gear for my mission trip!
  • My DTS Leader reached out to me and is helping me with the final details!
Prayers:
  • That all my flights go well (all 32 hours of travel time)!
  • That I can sleep on the plane.
  • That I reach my goal of $12,400.
  • That finalizing all the details goes well.
  • That I am eager to devote myself fully to learning more about God and being Christlike.
Thank you all!

From Lecture Phase into Outreach

Image
Lecture phase ended on Friday and I am now on my way to Papua New Guinea. The past few lecture weeks I learned about the lordship of Jesus, the father-heart of God, relationships, missions, and worldview. During lordship week I was challenged to make sure that I was giving every area of my life to God. During father-heart and relationships week I learned about how my parents represent God and affect how I see Him. I also learned better how to respect others in different kinds of relationships. The boys also had the opportunity to bless the girls with a fancy breakfast at the end of the week. During missions and worldview week I learned about God's heart for all nations throughout the whole Bible into modern times. Two weekends ago I was able to go to Milford Sound, which is one of most beautiful places in New Zealand most people would say. I am currently staying overnight at the Aukland YWAM base and tommorow I will continue on with my team to New Britain Papua New Guin...

Angels and Mortals

This week was Jesus week so we learned more about looking at the Bible through Jesus and opened up some of the topics that turn people away from Christianity. We did not completely figure out these topics, but our speaker mainly emphasized not rejecting Jesus when we have doubts. Instead we keep on looking to God while searching for answers. This week we also played a game called angels and mortals. Everyone is someone else's angel and they do fun things for them like giving them candy, setting up scavenger hunts, or throwing them dance parties. At the end of the week you try to guess who your angel was. We also did our book reports for "Is That Really You God?" We are now halfway through lecture phase and are getting ready for outreach. Thanks for your continued prayers. I miss you all.
