Hello Friends and Family!

I wrote around a month ago about traveling to Guatemala in August of this year. I recently got the confirmation that I will indeed be going on the trip that will leave August 1st! I am overwhelmed with happiness as well as stress financially in this journey. 

People have come up to me asking why exactly I am going on this trip. When I was young, I wanted to travel and was very passionate about it. This spark ended up not going away, but grew tremendously. Now as my dream will come true to see the world at a different angle and perspective, I also feel this is a great first time experience to enjoy! This trip will be something that not many get the privilege to do and I am grateful I get to do this. 

I have never traveled on a plane. I have never gone out of the country. This trip will consist of many "firsts" for me, which is also very exciting. 

This journey before, to, there and even after will be life-changing. I was told recently that I was "made for this" and I should take this leap of faith. As I was talking to a dear friend today, I told her I had some anxiety about traveling and the unknown that consists of this trip. She told me that God has this in his hand. When I came home, I looked up Joshua 1:9 which states, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"

The lovely people that are in charge of the Conduit Missions page have created a link to directly donate to my mission trip travel funds. There are many ways to pay online as well as in person.

If you cannot donate financially, please join my family and I as we are praying over this financial step into this new journey. As I previously stated in my last blog post, I am so anxious to go and experience the world through this wonderful trip.

Thank you!
