This is it!! This is the last day before I leave for Florida. I will be leaving at 4AM tommorow morning. I hope that you will all be praying for my safe travel to Florida and for all of the other interns as they travel. I will arrive in Miami on Monday morning. I am spending the night in Pensacola tommorow night and then I am staying at a campsight near Orlando for 2 nights before we go on in to Miami. Once we get to Miami I will meet with my host family and then we will have a week of orientation training before we leave for Mishawaka, Indiana. We will be going to Bethel College for Summer Institute training(SI). Needless to say I won't be getting a lot of rest for the next couple of weeks. Please pray that I will be energized and prepared to learn during SI. I hope that all of you are doing well. Please send me an email or leave comments on this post. I would love to hear from you all. I think the internet may be the best cure for homesickness.

I know that the form for email updates is still not working for some reason. If you would like to be added to the email update list then you can send me an email at broken@gmail.com and I will send you an invite. Hopefully it will work that way. I am working on a way to post pictures on the site as the summer goes on. I will also probably be posting pictures to another site that we are working on for YFC. If we get that site up and running I will post the website address here.

I still have not raised enough money to support all of my expenses over the summer. I am getting worried because the gas prices keep rising and I am driving a lot this summer. Fortunately, I am able to continue raising money through the summer. If you would still like to sponsor my internship I believe that I have posted the information in one of my previous entries on this page. Every little bit counts. If you know anyone else that might be interested in sponsoring my trip please please please refer them to this web page.

I love all of you and I am so lucky to have such a supportive group of people stand behind me in prayer and financially. Please continue to pray for God to use me in great ways this summer. I can only imagine what He has in store for me. I know that He will take care of me. I also know that this will not be easy work that I have been called to do. He didn't say it would be easy. Only that he would be there every step of the way.

God bless all of you and I will try to post another update for you all tommorow night when I arrive in Pensacola if possible. If not then I probably won't have internet access again until Monday.
