It's Official!

Oh man.. please forgive me for not updating sooner....things have been nuts here at YWAM Salem!! So... I  wanted to share that it is official, we are leaving for Bontoc this next Wednesday (9/7) bright and early in the morning- and this is official news because we were blessed with all of the support we needed from friends, family, and even random individuals! The process of support raising has been SO faith building- not to mention humbling.. I am incredibly thankful to all of you who have supported us financially and continue to be our prayer support- from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. There is no way we could be doing what we are without the love from our brothers & sisters. It is such an amazing feeling to be supported in so many ways!

So.. this is week 11 of lecture.. our last and it's on the topic of Missions.  I feel extra blessed to have my pastor Bruce as our speaker. It's nice to have the familiarity of home in the classroom as we are closing this phase- plus his teaching isn't bad either ;-)

This week is insanely busy- we have a packed schedule while trying to get everything packed/ready for outreach, clean our rooms & move out of them.. all while balancing the demands of kiddos, etc. I feel like everyone is handling it pretty well- there is an anxious excitement in the air for what lies ahead. I feel so blessed to be a part of this team- and am so excited to continue this journey with all of them!

I will be doing one last farewell post before we leave with some details on our trip- here are some current prayer requests until then!

- for the release of fear & anxiety about our prepping & traveling for our trip
- that the Lord remain our center amidst the chaos
- that sickness STAYS away!
- for unity & closeness & laughter within our team

Thank you guys- love to you all!
