Preparations

Hello all!

I can't believe August is here already! This summer has been an exciting journey - a roller-coaster of highs and lows - as I have been raising support. I have been continually amazed by the ways God has been Sovereign and in control of every detail of my summer - encouraging me in the lows and helping me to give thanks and rejoice in the highs. I am completely overwhelmed by the ways God has provided for me and by the outpouring of support, prayer, and encouragement from so many wonderful people in my life - and from some people I have never met!

I am so excited for the next chapter - the realization of this dream that I've been working for all summer. In only three short weeks, I'll be getting on a plane and heading with my new friends and teammates to Montpellier, France. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to be a part of what God is doing in this corner of His Kingdom and to see Him transform the hearts, minds, and lives of the 70,000 students there.

In the meantime, there are so many preparations to be made! Next week is our launch conference where all the people interning with Cru in our 6 partnership locations internationally will get together for final training, group bonding, and who knows what else! I'm really excited to get together with all of my teammates and get to know the women I'll be working with this next year even better. I can't wait to see what our staff and supervisors have in store for us, and what God has in store for us at this conference!

Soon after that, it will be time to pack, organize, and pick up the last-minute supplies I'll need to get ready to go. It's all happening so quickly - but I know that God will continue to be at work in every detail of the remaining weeks between now and lift-off!

Thanks for all your prayers and support - please continue to pray with me that God brings in the remaining support I need to go to Montpellier! Only $15 of one-time support and $153 of monthly support left to go! Praise God!

More updates coming soon, but abientot for now!
