Only a few days left!

Being in Illinois the last month or so has been really wonderful. I'm so grateful that I have had plenty of time to get everything lined up to go. I've loved spending lots of time with family and Pontiac friends.
This week, my parents hosted an open house for people to come and say goodbye. I felt so loved and encouraged. Thank you to those who were able to come- I felt very supported and know that I have such an awesome team of people partnering with me in prayer and support.
These last few days I will be spending time with people and finishing up packing those suitcases! My flight is on Tuesday morning- please pray for me throughout that whole travel day. I should arrive in the DR by 8pm.
People have been asking me, "How do you feel? Are you ready? Are you scared?" I have a lot of emotions right now! I am a little scared because there is a lot of unknown, but more than anything, I'm so excited! This has been such a long time coming and I have such confidence that this is exactly what God wants me to do- so that fills me with peace and joy.
For those of you in the Pontiac area, I will be at church on Sunday, so I would love to see many of you and say a last goodbye!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me thus far and for partnering with me for what is ahead :)

thank you Iowa family and friends

I just returned from a wonderful weekend in Iowa. I am so glad I got the opportunity to go back and visit some amazing people!
Describing the weekend, I just feel so blessed. Thank you for encouraging me- I feel like my love tank is full and overflowing! I'm grateful for the relationships and the time I got to be with all of you.





 
 
It is hard to say goodbye and see a chapter close, but I thank God for the treasure that it was to live in Huxley and know all of you. I'm excited for what's next and I look forward to continuing to partner with you and keep in touch.
