UPDATE

So its been a while since I last updated. 
We keep saying how this summer is like a sprint. We go from one event to another, which makes my life super exciting. 
I absolutely love what I am doing. 





My last update asked for prayer for our Intermediate school missions trip. That trip was truly amazing. We worked with a group called Mission Discovery and we helped to fix up some houses in South Texas. While we were there we also held a vacation bible school for the kids in the area. That was what I was in charge of. I loved that. I met one girl named Viviana who I hung out with a lot and we really had a good time. Our group really connected well on our trip. 
Then when we got back we had a week where I went home and celebrated my grandparents 50th ANNIVERSARY!!! And then we started a week long Summer Safari, which is a day camp for the intermediate schoolers where we would serve in the morning and then go somewhere fun in the afternoon. We did a lot that week, such as we collected canned goods for Interfaith Care Ministries and we helped a local ministry with some outside work, we worked with a home for the mentally ill. We also went to a water park and a fun center. We went to the zoo and the beach. This week Matt and I also led a bible study on the Superheroes of the Bible. This was my first teaching experience and I think it went really well. 
This past week we have been preparing for our missions trip which we leave for in less than 9 hours. 
We are going to Joseph city AZ where we are going to work with the Naomi house for foster care children. I will again be leading VBS for the kids in the area and for our day off we will be spending it at the Grand Canyon. 
Please pray for our trip. Please pray for safety and strength to get through the week. Each night we will be sharing God sightings, So please pray that God will show himself in many different ways and that we are able to pick out the places that he is working in our lives. 
I will hopefully update when I get back!
