and I'm off!!!

This will be a much shorter post than the normal but soon to be followed by a longer one ;)

I'm officially on my way to Mexico on the 25th of April... SO CLOSE! God's wonderful faithfulness is amazing and so evident in my life!!! What an amazing blessing He's given me with all of you! Because of your prayers and your donations I am currently at a point where in the next 2-3 months I'll be completely debt free!!! This means at the end of my initial 6 month commitment in Mexico I'll have the option of continuing my stay rather than having to move back to the states.

On the 29th of April I'll be leaving for a Sinaloa, Mexico on a short term missions trip with the local church. This will be an awesome opportunity for me to grow closer to my church body members and closer to the staff members of DOFO that will be on the trip. I don't know much about what we'll be doing all I know is that it's a 28 hour drive ONE WAY!!! During the day we'll be doing some sort of construction and during the evening we'll be doing church services for the locals exhorting them and lifting them up!

Here's the thing about God's faithfulness... yes, He did provide the money I needed which is an amazing testimony to His faithfulness but the ultimate gift is still to come. Our God is faithful and just and one day He WILL return for us and we'll get to spend eternity worshiping Him! Can't wait, gonna be amazing!

I'll be sure to post pictures when I can. Not sure if I'll have a functioning camera but I'll do my best! Again thanks for the prayers!



this is why I'm leaving :)
