Welcome and Thank You

For taking the time to read my blog. I'm about to begin a journey to the other side of the world. My hope is that, if you're reading this blog, you would like to journey with me! Next Thursday, June 15, I will head out to India where I will spend the next 9 weeks. I'm very excited and beginning to get a little nervous. I hope to keep this blog updated with stories, pictures, praises, and requests for prayer! It will be a great encouragement to hear from all who read and journey with me, so please post away with your comments! One thing I do want to ask is that you would use sensitive language in regards to spiritual things. It will help keep our team and the long term mssnaries safe. Just use the letter "m" if ever referring to that term. That is the main thing I am concerned with. I don't currently have any protection on the comments, but if they aren't controlled I will have to. This is why my profile is somewhat vague as well.

Well...that was kind of a boring first post, but it had to be done! I look forward to sharing more exciting things in the near future!

My first prayer requests would be:

• sprtual preparation
• a love for the people of India that is deeper than anything I am capable of giving
• unity for our team of 7
• time management (I have a LOT to do in just 9 days!)
