Uno Dia!!!!

One day. ONE DAY! That is how long until I leave for this trip. Am I excited? Ohmygosh, YES! Am I nervous? A little. Do I still have a lot to do? YES.

I've always wanted to do a blog, but I never wanted to make one until I knew I could post regularly and had a vision for what I wanted it to be. Well, I still haven't made my perfect blog. But until then, I thought it would be worthwhile to record stuff about this trip. I make no promises! I don't think I will be able to post during the actual trip, but that wasn't really the point anyways. I wanted to bring you guys in to what God will do in my life through this trip. And I know that will last for years after I get back! If you actually want daily updates while I am on the trip, you can keep up with this blog: http://efcwcostarica2013.blogspot.com/

So what's up in my life with one day remaining? A lot of packing. This is the first of many new experiences this trip will bring, because I have never packed for airplane regulations before. It's been tricky, but probably good for me. I also have to review some Spanish, take my library books back, and learn how to use this new camera of mine!

I'm so stinking excited to have a new camera, you have no idea! It takes such wonderful pictures, and I know I can trust it to take great quality pictures of Costa Rica that I can enjoy for years to come. I just wish I knew better how to use it... :)

I know this isn't much to give you guys, but I should really go finish packing. So I will leave you with a thought. I've realized that God has used my whole life so far to prepare me for this trip! Isn't that cool! And he will use this trip to prepare me for the rest of my life! And I'll tell you, I've seen him at work in major ways as I've been preparing for this trip. He has taught me so much and already changed a lot of my thought processes even before I leave. And I'm so excited to see what he will do through this trip!

So if you could, please pray for me and my team! Pray for safety and all the details, and that God would use us!

Off to pack! Adios!
