The end times..

I am going to be in Capetown in exactly a week. So crazy to think about. I am ready to go!!! I am getting so excited, but also quite apprehensive because I don't know exactly what to expect with everything. There has also been a bit of a change to my team. Due to finances (or lack of..) three people on my team, one is our leader, won't be coming but are instead doing and outreach in Indonesia. So my team is down to seven students, one leader. At first I was pretty upset about this change, but I'm ok with it now. I really believe that God is going to use whatever situation and work it all out for the good. With a smaller team, we will be able to get super close and work really well together. It'll be awesome no matter what. And I also had to realize that I'm not going for a vacation, so the social part shouldn't be my number one priority. God is going to use our team to do so much awesome stuff! I am excited to see what happens!

Last week's topic in class was Missions, with Paul Childers. Such a good week! I wasn't too excited going into the week because I didn't want to sit there and listen to a big sales pitch on why we should become missionaries and stuff, but it wasn't like that at all. Paul was such a great speaker - so passionate and real. He presented us with like a billion ways we can get involved in missions, and showed us how a missionary doesn't have to be someone who lives in a grass hut in the middle of Africa. There are a lot of opportunities and they all seem pretty sweet. We talked a lot about areas of injustice in the world and what we can do to fix them. I don't know exactly what my future will hold, but I do know that there is no reason to live a boring life. There are so many opportunities, so many things to be involved with! Definately an inspiring week! This week we are learning about Spiritual Warfare, which should be interesting. The speaker is really good, so we'll see how it goes..

I don't know what kind of access I'll have to a computer in Capetown, but I'll try and update as much as possible. I hope you are all well!
