Outreach in 3 Days


Yes, it's real. I can't believe it, but I really do leave in three days.
Every Wednesday night we have "family night," and we talk about what's going on and just take time to fellowship with each other like a family. Last week we did a "giving night" during that time, where people pray and ask God to show them what to give away and who to give it to. I've heard insane stories of people giving away thousands of dollars and other stuff, but I couldn't wait to see what would come out of our own giving night. One girl decided to buy my friend Gabi a roundtrip ticket home so she could be with her family because her cousin had unexpectedly passed away the night before. It was so sweet. Another guy on staff gave his car away to someone else on staff, who had been praying for a car. Just a couple examples of many awesome, serious God moments. Family nights are usually 45 minutes to an hour, but this night took over three hours to complete.
Saturday, we had Lovefeast. We all dressed up fancy, had dinner, received special awards, and each room performed for everyone. My award was, "Most Likely to be a Disney Princess." Haha! :) My room did a boy band mash-up dance to the songs Bye Bye Bye, Quit Playing Games With My Heart, and One Thing. It was super fun :) The staff ended the night doing a dance to "Hot Cheetos and Takis," which is the most ridiculously catchy song I've ever heard. It was amazing! We have the best staff ever :)
So, Thursday we have to clean out our dorms and be completely packed up! My team will head down the mountain Friday afternoon and wait there until leaving for the airport at around 8 pm. We board around 11:30, and will arrive in Costa Rica early in the morning :) SOOO stoked.
Please pray for my team, for unity, health, traveling safety, prepared hearts, and wisdom for whatever we encounter during our time there. I have also completely lost my voice, so please pray for that specifically. Thank you so much!
Hopefully I'll still be able to post once a week or so. Love you all!
