The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

- Jesus (Luke 10:2)

Excitement!

This trip is now just shy of four months away! I know I have so much to do between now and then - with school, swimming, work, and general preparations for the trip. I also know that these four months are going to fly by. I am getting more and more excited to go.
I now know that there are several other college-aged interns going to the Dominican this summer with G.O. Ministries. I have not had the opportunity to meet any of them yet, however, it is comforting to me to know that other people are going who will be experiencing similar emotions to those I will be experiencing.
My internship funding has nearly reached the minimum requirement! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to all who have supported me so far! God is amazing! I am still praying that more money will be raised in order to be able to give G.O. Ministries support for the medical center they are wanting to build.
Thank you to those who have been praying! As this trip gets closer, it seems I'm getting less and less nervous and more and more excited. :) Please continue to pray for me as I am still fairly nervous about the separation I will have from my family and Jimmie back here. I worry sometimes about stuff that could happen while I'm that far away, and that I wouldn't be able to get back to be there for my family. Pray for Jimmie. I think he's dreading me not being around. (We've worked the same summer job for the past 3 years; so though we're used to being apart during the school year, summers we're always together.)
