Almost one month ago I left home, hopped on a plane and found myself in Hawaii. The moment I got here I knew I was exactly where I needed to be (cliche, I know). Some amazing things have happened since then, too many to go into detail actually. So here is an overview:
-made friends with people from around the world.
-work in a coffee shop as my work duty (score).
-watched the Ironman triathalon from the finish line.
-have experienced God in a way like never before.
-swam with a sea turtle.
One of the most exciting things to happen so far was the announcement of our outreach teams. Our school leaders presented the location options to us and we were asked to pray about which location we felt called to. Of the four options one in particular stood out to me and had been on my mind before I even knew it was a possibility, but of course I still prayed about it. Cool story though, I had my dad pray about it also without letting him know the locations just to see if any came to mind. After I found out which team I was on, I got a text from my dad saying that he felt the very same country on his mind. I am happy to announce that this December I will be making my way across the world to India and Nepal. Watch out world, I'm on my way.
I am blessed to have the funds needed for both my DTS as well as my outreach, so I do not need support in that way. However, prayer is great so feel free to pray for me and my team as we go.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
defend the rights of the poor and needy
