I figured I better update this before I leave since I'm not sure when I'll have internet next. I'll try to update this as often as I can while I'm gone but I'm not sure how often I'll have internet.
Right now I'm in Atlanta for training camp where there's 19 (18 girls and 1 boy haha) of us who have been getting to know each other and preparing to be immersed in a different culture for a month. I've already learned not to have any expectations. When I applied for this trip, I thought we were going to Eastern Africa. Somehow, over the next few months our trip morphed into a trip to South Africa.
So tomorrow I'll be headed first to Amsterdam and then onto Johannesburg. From there, the 19 of us will be split into pairs and joining a team that is on The World Race (a program with Adventures in Missions where teams of about 6 people go to 11 countries in 11 months and take part in a different ministry in each place check it out here). My team will be "Team Fuego" and I just got an e-mail yesterday saying that our ministry will be with the university students, but who knows, that might change too! I am super excited to finally be on my way.The Lord has already been stretching me in many ways just through some of the sessions we've been having with our leader, Aly, who just finished her 11 months on the race.

Through all of the changes in the planning of this trip, I've been needing to really surrender my expectations and just know that God's ways are perfect.
"This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him."
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him."
II Samuel 22:31
Thank you so much to all of you who have supported me, please continue to pray for us as we travel and get adjusted while beginning this new adventure with our King.
