Tomorrow, tomorrow...

We are officially finished with training camp for Youth in Mission 2009. It was definitely intense, but it was definitely fun! They had our schedules packed full with different services, informational seminars and team meetings.. I was super tired the whole week.. and could barely sleep because I had a lot to think about with the trip coming up and all.. but it was definitely worth it. The day before I left to come to training camp was a really hard day for me.. I didn't really know what to expect at camp and I was just nervous about the whole thing.. but as soon as the first day was over, some of my nerves were already calmed and I could tell that I was going to feel a lot better about things. And I was correct. On the first night we had to write our name and one of our favorite verses or quotes on a Popsicle stick and then we were given someone elses, these were going to be the person that we would pray for, for the summer. I knew that the popsicle stick that I got was meant to come to me because the quote on the back was this, 'if you are worrying, you are not trusting God.' I definitely need to read that because I was becoming completely overwhelmed with all the different aspects of the trip itself.
My team and I leave in about 2 hours to go to the airport for our flight to go to Kenya. I still can't believe it. I feel like my team and I are really prepared for what is to come, but at the same time I feel like we are not prepared at all.. I think it will all come together once we are there and kind of know what to expect. We got our flight information today which was really exciting because that is something that my team has been wanting for a while and we finally got it :) I found out that we needed our shot records today for when we are entering the United States again.. and when I go to get my visa for Tanzania.. and guess who doesnt have their handy dandy yellow book. oh yes, yours truely :) Again, I started stressing out.. and I was really upset with myself for not thinking to bring it.. but again, that quote popped into my head and I knew that stressing about it was not going to do any good and it would all work out, one way or the other.. there was another girl that forgot hers so we figured out a way to get them and hopefully it will all be worked out. We are spending all of today traveling and we get to Kenya at 730 pm.. which I am so thankful for because we have a chance to relax before we get there.. keep us in your prayers as well as the other teams as we are traveling!! Thanks for your support and interest in my life and this awesome opportunity!!
