I have arrived in Birmingham Alabama (then driving to Rainsville) for orientation after just a few hours of flying. I've already met some great people that are going to be at orientation but not with me in the Philippines. We will be parting ways on Tuesday.
Some of you may know that I went to China Christmas of 2010 with two other girls, Olivia and Angela. As it turns out, Olivia is going to be at orientation with me!! I am very excited to see her again! :)
Thank you all for your prayers for my team as well as the other teams that are being sent out on Tuesday. In addition to these teams, I would like to ask for prayer for another team that is close to my heart going to Africa. The church I attended in Abilene, Wylie Baptist, is taking some youth to a village in Africa (I believe it's Kitale). These youth are on fire for God and I thank Him that such strong individuals are doing His work there.
I'm not completely sure what to expect for orientation, however I'm sure I won't be able to post anything until we actually arrive in the Philippines on Tuesday.
Thank you again for your prayers and I pray blessings and peace on you as you shine for Jesus back in the states.
