I was thinking that some updates needed to be given and also this is most likely the last post until I am in Brazil!! I leave Friday night, which this being Wed morning, it's not that much longer! I have bags of things in my room in piles, so all I need to do is put it into my backpack and suitcase.
I think that it hit me yesterday that I am really going on a mission trip. Really I am just getting to go somewhere and be quiet with God. So many times my life is congested with work, friends, family, things in general, that sadly my one on one time with my Holy Father is either interrupted, or not even there. So, I can't even type how excited that i am to see what god has in store for me during the next 10 days in Brazil.
Updates:
1. My friend Elizabeth is in better health. She wrote on her blog that she is feeling better and has been scouting the spots that we will be going to while in Brazil. Below in one of my posts I put where we will be at so you can specifically pray about that time and just know where I will be once I get off the plane! I don't know if it was written or showed, but my team of 8 wonderful people will be meeting Bruno and Camila Costa at the airport. We will be visiting their home and Bruno is the guys who will be taking us to preach the gospel. He goes out each day into the streets of Brazil to preach the gospel. We will just be able to be an extra as we will be doing the Redeemer Skit and sketch board in the huge market places and in some schools. I am so excited to meet the wonderful Costa's.
2. I have a job! We were called into the principals office a couple of days ago and I was told that I do have a job in the same spot next year. I am so grateful for my job, as some of my friends weren't as lucky as I was.
3. We were able to get our visas! Brandon and Bryan Autry still need to pick up theirs on Friday morning, so please lift up a prayer that everything just goes smoothly when they walk into the office.
4. My only prayer request for the trip is my anxiousness about the plane ride. I might even be getting myself silly b/c I am expecting to be nervous. But, what I really need to not just say but believe is, if I give this over to God, really give it over to Him, then he will either take it away, or be with me all the way threw it.
5. I want to thank everyone who have given me donations and prayers along the way. I really could not have gone ion this trip without all of your help. You'll never know how much it means to me that so many people gave their hard earned money in order for me to get to preach the gospel.
Well, if I am unable to publish another post until I get home, be sure to know that I will be typing till my chubby hands hurt about my wonderful adventure that God and I had once I get back.
