One Week!

Wow! After months of preparation, the time to go serve in Italy is finally at hand. At this time next week I will be in Italy. Our team of students is meeting on Sunday in Dallas, TX. We'll have some short training between then and Tuesday when we fly out to Italy (about a 10+ hour trip). Since I've never been out of North America, I'm feeling a little nervous about such a long flight. All I can say is that I am grateful for Dramamine and will enjoy the sleeping effect it will bring. :) For anyone who is curious, here is our flying itinerary:

If I haven't told you already, thank you all for the prayers and support. God has been amazing in providing. He has seen to it that every single cent has been provided for this trip. It's a humbling reminder that all we have is His. There are several of the other students on my team that have yet to reach their support goal. You can be praying that in the next week the rest of their donations will come in as well.

Once in Italy, I'll be able to post updates via the Internet cafes. It's going to be an amazing experience and I can't wait to see what all God is going to do. I have a feeling He's going to challenge me and that I that I won't come back the same as when I left. So until then, Ciao!
