Friends & Family,
I have safely arrived in Las Vegas!
The goodbyes were the worst part (my brother even cried lol), but I am now doing... okay... kinda sorta... I can already tell this is going to be a journey that will really stretch me out of my comfort zone and make me turn to God in my times of loneliness, where back home when you have family surrounding you, you tend to forget who is with you 24/7 no matter what. It's so very exciting and yet so very scary at the same time. I wish I could describe the actual feeling of being by yourself but also having the one person that you need most right beside you.
There's a sign outside my room that says, "If God brought you to it, He can bring you through it!" and I can't help but think how true that is. God brought me here for a reason and even though it is going to be extremely hard, I have faith that He will bring me through it safely.
So far three of my roommates have arrived and I have got to spend some time getting to know each of them. We are still expecting to have two more come in tonight. That's SIX girls in ONE room... everyone pray that each one of us is blessed with patience!:) There is a total of 22 girls and 2 boys (those poor boys)...
This is my room (my bed is the one with the chevron bedspread)
I still don't know where my main outreach will be, but there is talk that it might be somewhere in Asia. On week 7 the abolitionist DTS and my DTS get to go to Mexico for a week (pray my passport comes in time) and on week 9 just my orphancare DTS is going to Arizona for four days!! So many exciting things to come!
Ps. Thank you all for praying for safe travels!
