So, this weekend I went to Greenwood for our last meeting before we leave for Kenya! It was such a great, great weekend. We spent last night packing things and just hanging out. It was so great to see Brittany, Amanda, Chrissy, Steven and Dr. & Mrs. Hawkins. We had a blast and it was really good to catch up with them. I'm so blessed to have such extraordinary friends.

Today we got commissioned during each of the three services. It was very, very powerful. I really felt everyone's prayers surrounding us as we were standing up there. I think that is my favorite feeling in the world.. The actual feeling of prayer. It's amazing.

After Church we had our meeting and spent a couple of hours together before leaving. The meeting went well and we all left overly excited! 11 days.. 11 days until we're in KENYA!!!!!!!! YAY!

I want to ask that you all will begin praying for our team and those that we will meet. Please pray that God will begin preparing our hearts and minds for all He is going to do. I appreciate it more than words could ever describe.


I'll leave with just a few of my favorite quotes about missions.. :)

"A tiny group of believers who have the gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves. Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story."
- K.P. Yohannan


"Today five out of six non-Christians in our world have no hope unless missionaries come to them and plant the church among them."
- David Bryant


"Lost people matter to God, and so they must matter to us." -- Keith Wright


"This generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of souls on the earth!" -- Keith Green


“The light that shines farthest shines brightest at home." -- C.T. Studd


“God had only one Son and he made that Son a missionary.” -- David Livingston
