ahhh this week has been full of craziness. a million different emotions piling high as we began packing for outreach! wow. i'd never felt so many emotions up and down all at once. it feels like just yesterday i was arriving here in maui and already we are leaving in 2 days for outreach. i broke down and cried so many times. not even sure why. its so hard to say goodbye to all my friends here. not being able to call home for three months will be so hard. im going to a foreign country where there will be noo comfort whatsoever. its so hard to leave the comforts of maui and the ability to call home everyday and internet.. dont get me wrong i am totally excited for everything to come, but its hard to say goodbye to the last couple months and hello to the next 3 months. but god says to rejoice in trials and sufferings. so i am rejoicing for i will be blessed. i leave for thailand at 4:15 in the morning on wednesday and will be having around 30 hours of travel time and we will be there for ten days. in bangkok thailand we will be going on temple tours and working with the red light distric. we will have a couple days of free time where there is lots of fun stuff and shopping to do. after those ten days, my team will travel to pontianak indonesia where we will begin outreach! it will be the hardest three months i've ever expereienced in my life but i am so ready to go out and do what god brought me here to do! its exciting and terrifying at the same time. please pray for strength for me and my team as this outreach will be extremely tiring and challenging especially in the high heat in Borneo. pray that he will give us strength when we feel we can't go on. pray for team unity. pray that god will use us abundantly. pray that the people of borneo will be open to what we have to say. pray that we will have favor with the indonesians! pray that all of us will give 500% effort 100% of the time. we are here to invest in the indonesians and pour love out on them!
I am so excited for this! thanks for all those who supported me. comments are great. i will update as much as possible although internet will be a rare occasion in borneo! i love and miss you all and am so excited to see you in the summer!
p.s. please pray that god will give me direction and guidance for what i am going to do after my DTS. i feel like He is calling me to come back here for a staff position but i really wanna be 100% sure that that is his will for my life! im up and willing to do whatever he has for me!
love you!
