Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Hey All!

Words can not describe how thankful I am for my supporters, this wouldn't be possible without you and I'm so thankful that you guys are walking with me as I head to El Salvador and I'm so appreciative of your prayers. I have some great news I have officially been released to assignment and I will be leaving for El Salvador August 16th. I leave at 5:30 (there is going to be lots of coffee involved considering my family and I will have to leave our house at 2:30am in order to get to the airport on time.) and I will arrive in San Salvador at noon which will be 1pm here in MN. I've pretty much finished packing other than the last mintue stuff that I need to pack...It's finally starting to feel real and that leaves me with mixed emotions in the fact that I am so excited to go to El Salvador and start my ministry there but I am really going to miss my friends and family, especially my very young nieces and nephew. The goodbyes will be hard this week but I actually think they will be easier than if I hadn't gone to SPLICE and learned about saying goodbye.At SPLICE as I have mentioned before Robin said that "I hope it hurts when you leave(say goodbye) because that means you have loved and have been loved" and this is such a huge thing for me, because I have never liked goodbyes. As I say my goodbyes especially with my nieces and nephew because they are too young to understand why there auntie is leaving and going far away and they have told me they don't want me to go, so prayers would be much appreciated.

About two weeks ago I spoke at a church here in Cambrige, New Hope Community Church and as many of you know that music has a huge influence on me, I love hearing new music. Although they played a song that I had heard before but I hadn't listen to in a while and I just love the song, its called 'Follow You' and its by Leeland and Brandon Heath, so I thought I would share it with it you :) So adios till I arrive in El Salvador!! :)
