The journey has begun!

Hello all!
I am blogging from the Miami airport while I wait for my next flight. Unfortunately, I am typing this from my phone since the WiFi is not letting me connect to the Internet on my laptop.
So far, God has blessed our trip in letting us have a straight flight to Miami instead of a flight to DC and then another to Miami.
I have met some other interns and we are all sitting together as a group in the airport fellowshipping.
Updates will be posted as often as possible.
Prayers are needed! Love you all!

3 days to go!

Guys, there are only three days until I leave! I am almost done with everything. Packing the last couple things I need and figuring what all I still need to buy. Dad is going to be helping me in figuring out if I had forgotten anything later today while we are all off.

Yesterday at church, my congregation anointed safety for my trip and that I would be used by God and receive the Holy Spirit. With many tears shed and many hugs received, I know I have the love of God with me and the support of a couple hundred behind me, not including the hedge of protection from God's angels around me.

Thank you all for your prayers and support these last few months as I have prepared for this adventure. I am not sure how I would have been able to do it without my family standing behind me. How often I will be able to blog while I am down in the DR is uncertain, but I will try my hardest to blog as often as I can and add pictures when it is possible.

I hope all of you are blessed tenfold as much as you have blessed me through your encouraging words, prayers and donations. Please keep me in your prayers as I will be leaving my family and friends for six weeks, or another way to look at it is A MONTH AND A HALF. I know my parents and sister will need it the most. I love you all and have a blessed day!

2 weeks!

There are ONLY 14 DAYS until I leave. I can't believe it! It feels like it was last month that I was given word that I would be going on this internship. I thank the Lord that He has given me this opportunity. The last minute things have begun and I have met two friends to help in getting everything situated before we leave. Adaline & Rachel, my traveling companions, and I have begun the process of getting the few things done, including what would be better to pack or what not to pack.


Updates will be posted soon! BTW, finals went well and I passed all of my classes. Have a great day everyone!

Anyway, please pray for me and for the preparation of this trip! I am almost physically ready for this trip; now comes getting ready spiritually for this trip. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
