The Countdown Begins...........

Well, due to today being April 28th, we officially have 30 days until we leave for Taiwan/Japan! It is very exciting but also very scary because we have so much to do before then! I was actually able to go to some thrift stores today with Moma, Nana (Judy), and Mallory and find some shorts to wear on the trip. I had outgrown all of my shorts and was groaning at the thought of having to wear full length jeans in the rainy season! Since we only had a short time to be able to shop, we prayed that God would send us to the right stores and supply all the clothing I needed. God is so good! We were able to find great deals, shorts, and a skirt that I needed for the trip.

We now have a rehearsal schedule for the rest of our dance rehearsals. We will be practicing from 7:30-9:30pm on Fridays and 2:30 to 5pm on Saturdays until we leave. Pray for us to be able to complete all of the dances we had originally planned. Due to other performances taking the priority, we have not been able to accomplish all that we had hoped to by this time.

I also was able to go get my shots today. Yay????? =/   My arm hurts but I know its a whole lot better than actually getting the real disease! Dance is interesting though with an achy arm.......=)

I will update you more soon!!!! =) Be Blessed!!!!!!


Ps. Kirsti's graduation was amazing!!!!!!!!! She and Emily both did an amazing job and we are so proud of them! Abi's neck is also feeling so much better. Thank you for praying!!!!!!! =)

100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am 100% percent funded!!!!!!!!! YAY GOD!!!!!! Thank you so much to all of you who have supported me financially and in prayer. It means so much to me!

A couple of prayer needs:
>Kirste's graduation is on Sunday! Yay! Pray that all of our bodies would function properly and have lots of strength.........as well as for Emily and Kirste to have grace! (they are the ones graduating) Kirste has been feeling ill as well so healing for her so she can perform her best on Sunday!
>Abi's neck. She pulled a muscle in her neck and is unable to completely move her neck which hinders her in rehearsing dances and she needs to be able to perform this weekend in the graduation.
>All of us students trying to finish up school before the trip. For most of us we leave the Friday of the last week of school.
>The Heiwa church in Japan we will be ministering to. Our brothers and sisters need our prayers in this time in their life.
>Clarity for Natalie and for the other travelers regarding how we are to minister in Hiroshima.
>Wisdom for Mr. and Mrs. Kawase as they continue to establish more specifics of our trip.

I just want to thank you again for being a part of this journey in my life! It is a blessing to know you are behind me! =)

More to come later...........

God Bless!
