Well next Friday (June 20th) i leave on a two month trip to Samoa, i am so excited! I am going with an organization called teen missions located in Orlando Florida. first i will fly to Orlando, there i will be trained and prepped for two weeks for the mission i will be going on along with the other teens. after What they call The Lords Boot Camp i will fly to LA and from there i will get on a 20 hour flight to the island of Upolu located in the Samoan Islands. once we get there we will drive to the camp sight, unpack and get to work. there we will be building a (felle tella) which i have been told is similar to a open sided meeting house for a local church. We will also be working with the local kids by putting on a V.B.S. After about a month in Samoa we will then fly to New Zealand to meet with another teem for a week. And finally we will take one more trip to Northern Australia to meet once more with a local team there. Then i will get on a flight to LA, and then return back home (August 14th) "good old Phoenix Arizona!!!"
I am so excited and i know that God is going to use me in great ways. I do ask that you pray for safety for me and the group i am going with. Also please pray for the people we will be showing Gods enduring love too, that there ears will listen and there hearts will be open the the word of one and only God.
My Prayer
"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known upon earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy; for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him."
