Czech Team Retreat



Wow. What an amazing weekend I had! All of our members, minus one, got together for a weekend of bonding, growing closer as a team and preparing our hearts for the Czech Republic! I barely knew these people during the beginning of the weekend but now I consider them all dear friends. We spent time getting to know each other, playing fun games, laughing till all hours of the night at Nacho Libre jokes and most importantly, conversing about our ridiculous love for the One who gave it all. I am beyond stoked for this team to go and minister to the people of Czech. There is an unusual bond between us all. The amount of love that was portrayed this weekend was doused in the sweet love of Christ. One of the highlights of this weekend for me personally was the night we each gave a short, some not so short, testimonies about ourselves and our walks with Jesus. I was blown away at what some of these people have gone through yet still choose to pursue Christ everyday in spite of the deficiencies in this world. The grace that was exemplified through the power of God's UNFAILING LOVE. It was truly unreal and a glimpse of our eternal glory in Heaven. A beautiful time where God's spirit was tangible and we all considered one another family. A family who laughed together, cried together and worshiped our all mighty God together. It was an incredible blessing. SO excited to see what great things God has in store for me and my team. Please keep us all in your prayers! Ahoy Czech!

New Blog!

Hello everybody!
I am so excited to announce the launch of my new blog "Traveling Mermaid". I got this name as many of my friends call me Mermaid, which is appropriate as I am obsessed with anything ocean related. And as many of you may know, I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel to the Czech Republic this summer during the month of July on a missions trip teaching ESL (English as a second language) summer camp while ministering God's love. Then this next semester, which will be the first semester of my Junior year , I, along with one of my best friend Emily, will be studying abroad in Seville Spain for three months! Needless to say I will be traveling quite a lot this year. The Lord has been giving me amazing opportunities this year and I want to keep my friends and family back home updated while I am away. I will be updating with pictures, posts and prayer requests! I am excited for this journey and CAN'T WAIT to see what God has in store.
