YWAM- DTS Las Vegas

Friends & Family,
     The count down is on! Only 7 days until I take off for the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada! I can't believe it's already almost here. A lot of you have asked me several questions and I thought this would be the best way to answer the top 10 most frequently asked ones:

1. Where will you be going overseas?
    - I do not know yet and probaly won't know for another month or so. I do know that we will be staying at/near an orphanage and will be interacting with the kids there everyday and helping out whereever else we are needed.

2. What is it like where you are staying in Vegas?
    - I do not know. I have been told that it is sort of dorm style (your guess is as good as mine on what that means).

3. How long will you be in Vegas?
    - 12 weeks

4. How long will you be overseas?
    - 8 weeks

5. Are you nervous?
    - YES! The thing I'm most nervous about is the unknown. Those of you that know me well know that I like to plan things out and know exactly how things are going to happen. So, this is a big step for me and a big leap of faith!

6. Are you excited?
    - YES! I know this is a once in a lifetime experience and don't want to take any moment for granted!

7. What makes you the most apprehensive about doing this?
    - Leaving my family. I'll be missing Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and many Birthdays.

8. Why did you decide to go to YWAM instead of going to school?
    - When my parents told me that it was a possiblilty that we would be moving to Oregon it was in the middle of me deciding where I wanted to go to school. Now, I had to decide if I wanted to move with them or stay in Mo and go to school close to family. After praying about both options, neither of them felt right. I talked to my youth pastor and he mentioned YWAM because that's what he did out of High School. I looked into it and started praying that God would lead me to do what he wanted me to. After praying over it for awhile I knew this is what God was wanting me to do.

9. Do you know anyone else who is in your DTS?
    - No, I dont know anyone that will be in my group.

10. Are you 100% positive this is the right thing to do?
    - No I'm not, but is anyone ever POSITIVE about anything they do? I don't think so. At least I've never been 100%  positive about anything in my life (maybe I'm weird though).

    So, there you have it. If you have any other questions for me throughout this whole thing you can always leave a comment on here and I would be happy to answer any of them. Also, if you could please pray for strength, safety and wisdom throughout this journey, I could really use the extra prayers!
 
PS. I have now raised enough money for the first part of my DTS, but am still working on getting enough funds for the Outreach Phase. As always your support would be greatly appreciated in helping me be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. If you would like to support me you can go to GoFundMe.com/taj8tg8.
