What a journey God has led me through and I havent even left the country yet! Looking back at this point in my preparations to embark on this stretching journey for Christ I have much to be thankful for. Here is just a few. First to God Almighty for blessing me, sustaining me, forgiving me, and guiding me. Thank you Jesus! Secondly, my family for supporting me and not thinking I am totally crazy going into mulitiple unknown unknowns in the coming year. 
Also, my faith family. What an encourangment you all have been for me! What shining examples you have led for me in displaying how I can grow in Christ and better serve him. And not least of all for the financial support you have selflessly given me. It has been humbling and heartening to be given support to proclaim the gospel overseas. Thanks for believing in me and for helping me along the way! The list of names if I were to name you all would be encyclopedic so I shall refrain, but you know who you are and I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! You all shall be in my prayers and may the LORD of awesomeness shower you with blessings!
