Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I returned from Virginia last Thursday, Dec 20. I am so thankful I was able to meet the people I am about to head to the jungle with, but I am also extremely greatful to be home for now. Thank you so much for all your prayers as I spent my time training these past two months. I will leave for Peru on New Year's Eve with the rest of the new recruits for the Xtreme team, Katie, Nadia, Christy, Cody, Chris, Jeff, and Andy. Please keep us all in your prayers as we prepare to leave. We will begin our training as soon as we arrive, and will be pretty much out of contact for the next three months.
Please pray as we learn the language and memorize the Bible stories in spanish, that God would prepare our minds and allow it to come quickly, so that we might be more effective with the gospel. Please pray as well just simply for adjustment. More then this, continue to pray for the people of Peru that God would continuously reveal Himself to them and that they may be accepting of His word through us.
I pray you have all had a Merry Christmas, and are reminded of the gift we were given from our Father on this day when Christ took on the form of man to defeat death that we might have salvation. I pray you will all have a heart of thankfulness for your Father in Heaven and the many blessings He has given you! You are amazing, may He continue to bless you all!

Turkey week!

First of all, in the spirit of the holiday, I want to say thank you to all who are praying for me! You have no idea how important you all are to me! Thank you! Also, during the holidays if you could please keep my family and all the others here at training in your prayers that would be amazing!
This Friday we are heading to Washington DC to evangelize. Please keep the city in your prayers.
Know I am praying for you and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Time in Virginia

Yesterday we started our training. There has been a lot of info spilled into us. It is a little overwhelming! But also amazing! We have such great sessions and encouragement here! It is great to have so many people in the same boat! Today I was appointed Rec. Team leader while we are at training. It is kind of a big deal. I am a little nervous about the responsibility. Please keep my time management in your prayers! Also, there are some changes going on with the Xtreme team right now that we won't know until next week. Just pray for guidance with our team, and sufficient info! Thanks guys! You are amazing! I can feel your prayers!

Getting Ready

So I am about to head to Virginia! I have 2 months of training and then home for Christmas. January 3rd is the day. I will head to Peru and off to do the Lord's work! Until then I am just praying for the Lord to continue to prepare me. I have so much I feel like needs to be done to be equipped for such a mission, but how could we ever be truly ready? We can't! That is why I praise the Lord for who He is in my life, and that I am simply a vessel waiting to be used. I can't wait to see what God is going to teach me over the next two months and how He is going to prepare me. Please pray for my spanish lessons. Also, that it will be an easy transition leaving all that I know. My support system will be in Georgia, but I praise God I am so blessed to know so many are praying for me! Thank you for all that you do and have done throughout my life. Anyone who is praying for me is as much a part of this mission as I am! So get ready for some crazy times to see just how amazing our God truly is!!!
