I hope you’ve all enjoyed the holidays and time spent with family and great friends. Time has been racing by as I have been preparing for my mission trip. I fly to New York on December 30th, and to India on January 2! (Yes that means I leave for India in 5 days!!)

Of course I’ve had a few freak-out moments as I prepare to leave for a year, but that’s to be expected. I’ve spent the last week saying bye to friends and had my last day at work, it’s all been pretty bittersweet, but I’m really excited to begin this new chapter in my life. Not only am I leaving to see the world but I get to be a part in changing the world. I can’t wait to meet up with T squad and my team and get this thing started!!
Please be praying for me and my team. That we will have pure hearts, safety, spiritual sensitivity, wisdom and discernment, and that we will be open to each other and whatever God leads us to do.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me either financially or by encouragement and prayer. I couldn’t do this without you! Currently I’m about halfway to being fully funded!

 
Team Shefa! Shefa is the Hebrew word for Abundance.

My next blog will be from India! I promise to blog a lot more to keep you all posted and let you know what we’re doing!
