I'm am beyond excited for the Dominican! It's so incredible that this time next week I will be there! Its also kind of scary at the same time! I've have started gathering things together to pack. I think I just bought out Walmart's section of stuff for traveling. Also, I had to buy a bunch of new shorts to take on the trip to work in. It was kinda tricky to find some because for dress code, they had to hit below the knee but my mom and I were able to find shorts that worked. So now, here I am. I just tore my closet a part getting t shirts to pack that I don't mind ruining. This was not a problem at all though because as I have just realized, I have TONS and TONS of tshirts from all occasions. We can leave our clothes down there for the Dominicans to keep if we want to and I think I'm going to take up that offer! It should would help out my closet haha.
Wow, I feel truly blessed to have so many people praying for me and getting just as excited as I am about my mission trip! Today in church, our preacher had me stand up while he led the whole congregation in a prayer. Even though being up in front of everyone was kinda nerve racking, over all it's really a good feeling to know that you have such a large amount of people behind you and supporting you all the way. Not to mention A HUGE GOD ready to shine his light through you. Wow! I'm just so excited.
This will probably be the last post I'm able to write before leaving but I just want to let you all know once again how much I appreciate all of your prayers! I will be sure to get some pictures posted as soon as I can after I get back (June 16th). I can't wait to tell you about all God has done for the Dominican Republic and the change he has made in my life as well!!
