13 going on 300.

I am so amazed by all the ways God is moving in my life and also in the plans for my trip. I am so so so excited to see all the many ways God will work through me in Peru next summer!

Then it hit me. First of all, I don't need to worry. If God wants to send me to Peru, God will send me to Peru. Now don't get me wrong, I'm definitely doing things to get money for my trip, but I am not stressing out about getting all the money in. 

First of all, I ask for your prayer support. It is essential! Also, I do need to get some of my money in soon, I have a deadline of $300 that I need to make relatively soon. I've already got about $50 so I only need to get $250 more. 

13 people. 

If those people each give only $20, I will hit my goal! Just think, instead of getting a new t-shirt, a dew coffees, or a cd you could send the GOSPEL to Peru. To bring eternal life to a child, a mother or even a family. What an amazing way to invest in the Kingdom! Think about it.

If you would like to be one of these 13 amazing people, pray about it, and then go to www.globalexpeditions.com/donate, click on support a missionary and my ID number is 2593060. 

Thirteen people can help make an eternal difference in someones life in Peru. Will you accept the challenge?

Best Decisions

This was one of the most crucial, and awesome points in my trip. I started to feel the calling to STAY for another wonderful month!
God really worked in me so much during these few days and the next week. I really learned so much more about following God through everything, no matter how tough it is. 


Day 13: Travel to Panama City June 25, 2011
We said our last goodbyes to our friends in Nargana and headed back on the boat to the port.  We drove three hours back to Panama City, [Villa Lobos] it was a long, curvy bus ride.  We finally made it back to base camp.  We mainly sat around not doing much, then Ed and Josh wanted to talk to me and everything changed from there.  I wasn't in trouble, they just wanted to help me group and help me work through problems.  It was crazy, I really feel like I got a lot closer to God.  I think and hope that nothing will change when I get back from my trip, that it will feel as if I'm still on a trip. I know God has the strength to bring me through anything. And I'm up for anything. 


Day 14: June 26, 2011
Day in Panama City.  I got to go to a Panamanian Sam's Club type store, [Price Smart] and I even got to eat pizza.  It was amazing.  We had a relationship talk tonight.  We had a candlelight guys dessert night, showing us how show doesn't matter and all.


Day 15: FREE DAY June 27, 2011
Free day was crazy! We had five hours to walk around and shop.  We went around like a road with no cars and ate KFC! It was great!  Then we got to go to an internet cafe, it was awesome.  I got to get on Facebook and talk to Mom and Dad, it was good to talk to them and my group had fun.  Then we found Cinco de Mayo [The tourist barter part of shopping] it was really fun!  We got to barter and I bought a lot of stuff, haha.  Then our day of shopping was done, and we started heading back to our base camp, then it happened, I started wondering if I should have done the two month trip.  And if I had ignored God's will for me to go to Panama, I know I was called to come here, but I just don't know how long.  I prayed about it and decided I would talk to Josh at the end of the day.  We had session before I could talk to him, Ed talked about world missions, I started thinking about staying even more and finally got to talk to Josh, I was really confused because I was mad at myself for not trusting in God in what to do.  I gave it up to Him, now I just have to see how things go from here. 

With my friends Kendra and Verity on our free day. We were so happy to get bottle cokes and some caffeine!

If the Great Commission is true, our plans are not too big; they are too small.
