Dates Decided

Hello All!
I have decided the dates for my Scotland mission trip. July 10- Aug 10. A whole month! I had originally planned to go about 10 weeks, but i found out that I need to take summer school from June 7- July 7. But that is ok! I am not discouraged in any way. If anything, I am excited that I get to stay in the beautiful country of Scotland for a month!

So I looked up how much a round trip will cost, and guess what? I have like the perfect amount need to book a flight in my trip account! So thanks for all of you who have been supporting me in prayer and by donations! God is so good. I will soon be assessing how much more money I will need for other things like food and such, but i dont think it should be a crazy amount. Plus, I know that God will provide. He does everyday.

Keep praying that more doors will open up for me to serve. I mentioned in the post before this that I will be working at Imagine- which i am pumped about!! It would be really cool to update again with more exciting news about where God is placing me this summer. So, look forward to hearing more!

Imagine!

Doors have been opened for me to serve in Scotland! This is the first thing that is "set in stone" for me to do. Have you ever heard of Passion? I went to Passion 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia this past January and had a seriously great time. It is a conference for 20,000 Christians from ages 18-25 from around the country. (and even the world!) They bring in the biggest speakers, like Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, and John Piper. Musicians like David Crowder, Hillsong United, and Chris Tomlin. It is 4 days packed full of Jesus. What could be better??? :)

Anyways, Scotland has their own version of Passion. It is called Imagine. And guess who gets to serve??? Me! Oh, i am so pumped! I get to work in the office to understand how things are run from July 26-30, and then Imagine starts Aug 3 and ends the 7th. I think my duties will include helping people sign up, tell them where to go, and just helping out in general. I think i will also be on a prayer team as well- which should be pretty cool as well. It does not really matter how I serve, I am just so thankful that God gave me a place to serve!!!

Anyone else as excited about this as I am? Hehe.

Please feel free to check out Imagine. The site is: http://www.imaginescotland.co.uk/

Thanks for all the prayers and support. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the beautiful country of Scotland. July can't come soon enough!

Please continue to pray that other doors will be opened for me to serve. I want to work at a summer camp called Scripture Union Scotland for a week as well. So lets pray to see if that is God's will.

More updates to come soon!
