Chicago time

So last night the team, including some of our family members, met up in Marshall, WI where Mary Kate our team leader lives.  We had a fantastic dinner, and MK gave the parents more information regarding the trip and all that it entails.  Early in the morning we packed the car and headed for Milwaukee where we boarded our first flight to Chicago.  Here in Chicago we have a 9 hour lay over until we board our flight to London.  I know a 9 hour lay over in Chicago seems like A LOT, but it has been so fantastic :)  We've had magnificent bonding time, and I have really gotten to know my fellow team members.  All the women are SO amazing, AND passionate.  I am completely overwhelmed by the fact that God, for some reason, placed us all together as a unified team, to accomplish a specific goal through Christ.  I feel so undeserving.  I feel so blessed to have been chosen by God to be apart of this team, and I am astronomically PUMPED to discover what on earth lies ahead of us in this next month.  I am really excited to have the opportunity to embrace the Swazi people, as well as their culture.  I'm looking forward to pouring the love of Jesus, and the good news into hearts from literally across the world.  Prayers for our team are VITAL! We need YOUR help to make this mission possible.  Please pray for our endurance, and our obedience to intently follow the Holy Spirit and all that He has instore! 

God bless you :)

ALSO!!!! I wrote out a thank you letter to all the people who gave me donations to even go on this trip... and silly me...I never got around to actually sending them out!  From the bottom of my heart, I truly extend the DEEPEST amount of appreciation and love for you!  I assure you that when I return home you will get some type of letter!  I promise that your donations werent insignificant to me, IT MEANS THE WORLD! Thank you very very very very much.
