Waiting

So, here I sit in the office at work while the kids are napping and I realize how difficult it is to wait. I cannot wait to go overseas and begin my "experience of a lifetime." Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I prepare to leave. August 12th is getting closer and closer...only 32 more days!

A few links I wanted you to know about:

May God dwell in you richly as you live each day for Him!

Missionary Orientation

So, here I am in St. Paul, MN with a group of first year missionaries getting ready to enter the mission field. Over two weeks we are trained on everything from how to handl overseas taxes to teaching English when you don't know the native language. It has been an amazing experience and my head is fairly exploding from all of the new and exciting information.
I have also made some amazing friends. We have learned outreach by hitting the streets and talking to people. Some of us have even spread the Word through Kareoke. God has blessed us with opportunities to experience a variety of cultures right here in our own corner of the world.
I will soon be heading off on this new adventure to Taiwan. We recieved our flight itineraries. Team Taiwan will be leaving August 12th. Please pray for us as we continue our preparations and spend time with all whom we love.
May God bless your comings and goings.
