Wow, what a crazy week it has been. Last weekend I was in the InnerCity Phoenix with the Youth Group. There were Jr. High students giving up the first part of their spring break to serve those less fortunate. So awesome to see. We painted and cleaned up the neighborhood. It was so cool to see how excited the students were to serve. This of course made me even more excited for my summer. I realized that all summer this is what I will be witnessing, students wanting to serve others. So amazing.
After we were back I was still anxiously waiting to get the phone call from LeaderTreks to find out where I would be this summer. Finally, Wednesday afternoon I received the call. I will be in Memphis Tennessee this summer :) While I was initially disappointed that it wasn't Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic, I quickly realized that the site in Memphis focuses on community and works with the inner city children. Almost the exact same thing I did over the weekend. I am so pumped for the summer.
Now for some prayer requests, my support raising is going very slowly, so please just pray that I will be fully funded and that it will speed up a little bit. Also, just keep the area I'll be working in in your prayers. Thanks for thinking of me!
