Post 14.0

I have 12 days before I leave for Mexico for 3 months!!! I cannot wait to see all that the Lord will do while we are down there. I feel ready to go and as I have talked with my parents, leaders, and mentors they feel ready to release me off to Mexico on this 3 month journey. I know that this trip will be challenging as I have learned here to lay down my preferences and be patient and selfless; on the mission field I will need to be even more on guard. In these last weeks before leaving, the excitement has been rising within us as a team. The Lord has been showing me in the word how the way we treat and love each other will be evident to the people we come into contact with (John 13:35). While in Mexico even though my Spanish isn't very good I know that when I have the opportunity to speak that my actions will back up the words I speak. I want my life to be an example to all the people I come into contact with, not in a prideful way but an example that points others to Christ. I am so excited! I can't even wrap my head around the reality that I will be living, eating, and sleeping in a foreign country for 3 months in less than 12 days! Our plane leaves Nashville at 7:00 on February 4th. I am needing $900 still to fully pay off this trip, if you could donate financially it would be greatly appreciated. Your continued prayer support would also be greatly appreciated during this 3 month period. Even as we are preparing as a team we have been in constant spiritual warfare in regards to the unity of our team. It is the devils intent to destroy our team, but God has specifically called each one of us to this program and has a purpose for us. Specifically you can pray for peace within our team, grace as we prepare for worship and drama, and for focus as we get closer to our departure date. Thank You so much for your continued financial support and again if you could keep us in your prayers and consider financially supporting us in our 3 month missions trip to Mexico. Thanks again, God Bless...
