Getting Ready

So this is the first blog. yay :-) I am very excited that I figured out how to start a blog all by myself. Its one of the many things I am learning through this trip. As most of you know I am leaving Sunday at noon for Burkina Faso. While I am of course extremely excited to go, I am also experiencing a lot of anxiety, mostly over missing everyone here. I never like to be alone. I don't even like to go grocery shopping alone so the idea of spending 6 weeks without my friends and family is driving me crazy. Honestly being by myself is the only thing I am worrying about for this whole trip. I guess in the end it is just something I have trouble giving to God. Well I trust that His strength and love will help me not miss everyone too much. I feel incredibly privileged that God has called me to do missions this summer. I am confident that God is going to use me there.

Things to pray:
- that I will not be lonely
- my visas and passport arrive safely and in time
- for Katina's trip preparations - financial needs especially
- that I do not forget to pack anything
- for God to start preparing the people I meet to hear the gospel and feel the love of Christ through me and the other missionaries
