Good News!

Today has been an extremely exciting day for. Today was my last day of high school!! On Saturday, I will be walking across the stage. And soon after that, I will be recieving my diploma!! This is such a crazy feeling. Time has flown by and I cannot believe that I am really done with this chapter of my life. I am looking forward to my next chapter though. For those that don't know I will be attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and I cannot be more excited! I have other good news too! I have all the money needed for El Salvador! It is less than a week away... can you believe it? I know I can't! Thank you SO much to all the people that supported me in this journey. I would like to thank the people that contributed. Mark and Sonya Terry, Steve and Julie Chriswell, Jon and Elizabeth Lindberg, Leesa and Stan Love, Joe and Corinn Price, and Mary Lawrence- thank you so much for all the amounts of money that you contributed for my trip. You will never know how much it meant to me. And thank you for the continual prayers!! I will be keeping you all posted!!

Counting Down!

The countdown has officially started... 26 more days until I leave for El Salvador. I cannot wait! I have absolute faith that God is going to use my team to bring people closer to our Lord and Savior and that gets me extremely excited. I want to thank each and every one of you. Thank you for the continual prayers and support I am getting. I want to expecially say a thank you to the Terry's, the Lindberg's and the Chriswell's for their financial support. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you to everyone who prayed for Youth Weekend also. I am very pleased to say that it was amazing. I am so proud of myself and the other youth involved in this amazing weekend. I remember telling Jonathon (the youth pastor) that I could not stand up and preach to a group of people at all, but I felt God telling me to take this opportunity and I obeyed and it truly paid off. It was probably the most challenging thing I have ever done but I have also never been closer to my Lord. What an amazing experience, getting to share the wonderful Word of God to whoever will listen. I am completely confident that God will use this experience to encourage me to share my faith without hesitance when God tells me to.

Prayer Requests:
Pray that God continues to prepare my heart for El Salvador.
Also, senioritis has definately taken a toll on me lately so please pray that I can continue my work until graduation.
