Once again departing from the States

9pm I'm about to go to bed. Breakfast is at 3:45am. This time tomorrow I should be in the Dominican Republic. I'm excited and honestly, nervous. We've been warned that we will sweat continually, we will get sick and we will experience poverty in a new way. I feel unprepared.

Thus far the summer has taught me a lot. I've studied the bible more in depth than possibly ever before and it has really been amazing. The words jump out at me as I read or hear teachers speak of the truth of the scripture. Passages of the bible that once gave me trouble are now speaking truth into my life and pointing me towards my need for a savior and the hope I have in Jesus.

I believe the Lord will teach me much in the coming days. Please pray for the safety of our team and that I would be willing to be used by God in bold ways. Thank you for your prayers.

Peggy, Sounds like your just where the Lord wants you. he usually doesn't pick the one who are feeling really prepared and ready for the task at hand. I am praying for you as you leave for the D.R. I love you and pray God's blessing on your life as you serve Him:):)

Grateful,
