We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I'm expecting... I'm expecting that this trip will be an impact in my life and the orphans I will be working with. I'm so excited about Uganda, only 2 months away =D. I don't really have anyworries about this trip, yes some people I have talked to has said some things, but I believe that I am going for a reason and everything that happens is for the good. In Romans 8:28 it says, And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. And also He will NEVER leave us so there is no need to have any worries. I am having trouble raising money. A lot of people have told me that they will mail some but I don't think they have gotten to it yet, ha. So please be praying about that. I pray that God will move in so many ways. A few ways are that I will feel more comfortable spreading the word to non-believers that are close to me, that has to be the hardest people to do that to. Another is that there will be numerous amouts of kids and adults that we can wittness to, that they will come to know God.
We were asked to write a blog about how we were called to this mission trip. Here is my story... for years I have wanted to go on mission trips, but my heart was set on Africa. My parents and I took a missions class at our church, Rancho Community in California, they talked about Swaziland which is in Africa. They also talked about Columbia. My Mom really wanted to go to Columbia to the Orphanage but I kept telling her "No Africa." I was on Facebook talking to a friend who is doing The World Race through Adventures In Missions. She was telling me about the places she goes to and the things they do. I was like wow that sounds awesome, I would love to do that. She gave me the website so I looked it up and found that I could go to Uganda. I messaged her back and told her about going to Ugand and asked if that place was dangerous, she told me that God says he will never leave us nor forsake us. That verse was a really good verse for me to hear. I've been going through a hard time with moving, feeling alone, and just knowing that God is in control. Even if we feel like we have no one we really do it says it right in the Bible. Be praying for me in this mission trip to Uganda, I'm excited and know that I will never be the same whenever I get back.
Hi everybody I am still sending out support letters!! It's so hard to know who I should send them to. I can't think of everybody. Please be praying because at some points it can be stressful.
