Only three more weeks until I leave for Japan! I am getting really excited for the summer. I cannot wait for finals to be over and a brief break at home. I really cannot believe that it is almost here. About two weeks ago we had the JSI retreat where I got to meet my team. I am really excited to serve with them this summer. We have a great group of College Interns and High School Go Students. It really awesome to see all that Father is doing to get us ready for this trip.
Prayer Requests:
That those who we encounter will be receptive to the Gospel.
Endurance for all of the teams coming, pray that everyone recovers from jet lag quickly.
For our families, that they know we are in Father's hands and that they don't spend time worrying while we are gone.
Safe travel for all teams.

Getting Ready
This is my first experience with blogging, I hope to keep this updated all summer so that everyone will know whats going on and what to pray about.
A little background about my trip to Japan. I leave May 22 for base camp, which is training. On May 25 we board a plane to Tokyo! We will be there until August 6. It has been almost a year since Father laid this on my heart. I first felt the call to go to Tokyo during Super Summer in 2009. I could not keep the thought out of my mind. I was hesitant at first, but I knew this was something I had to do. Father really stirred my heart to go while I was at base camp for my trip to Wales. I did not have peace about it until I wrote in my journal that I would go. Just applying took several months of prayer and searching through the Word. I applied, putting the entire thing into Fathers hands. About a month or two later, I can't remember, I received an email telling me I had made it to the interview. I was ecstatic, but super nervous. I went to the interview and knew that Father had everything planned out for his glory. Another month later I got an email telling me that I had been accepted to go! This whole year has been a blur, I've started college, moved away from home, and have been preparing to go to Japan. This year has also been a blessing. I have learned to fully rely on Father and his grace. My hope has to be in Him and only Him.
Only 5 more weeks left!
