I leave in exactly two weeks!! It's so weird to think that in 14 days I will be embarking on the biggest adventure of my life!

Not much has been happening recently with my travel plans except that I'm getting really excited! In less than 3 weeks I will be leaving! I did however want to update everyone on the faithfulness and power of God that has been demonstrated in some of my team members. Amy, who is coming from England, is originally from S. Africa was not sure if she was going to be able to go because she did not have her letter of citizenship that she needed for her passport. The process of getting her letter was taking forever and then she still had to apply for her passport. She received her letter a few weeks ago but because the passport process is so long she was going to have to wait till the 3rd week of January before she would be able to join us in Maz. But through our prayers God intervened and turned what is normally a 2 month process into a few week process and now she is coming at the start of the school! Another way that God has provided in prep for this trip is for Angela who is from MN. She was having trouble raising the necessary funds for her trip and asked the whole team to pray for her that she would be able to raise the $1800 she still needed. And God answered our prayers in only a way that He can. She was sweeping at the restaurant where she works and these two guys from New York, whom she's never met, walked up to her and offered to pay her full balance! Now she has all the money! God is so good!
Please continue to pray for finances for the entire team. Thank you!

I just bought my plane ticket! I fly out January 3rd at 9 am from San Jose on US Airways with a layover in Phoenix. I then arrive in Mazatlan that afternoon at 3. Please pray for safe travel and that there wouldn't be any problems with the planes.
