After finding out early last week that I was officially at 80% of my support, I got a plane ticket! I'm flying out of Dayton on Friday the 31st at 1:26pm. From there I fly to Chicago then Munich and then in Basel where I will be picked up. I'm so excited to get going but have so much to get done. I am trying to keep so many details straight and figure out how I am going to move my life to Germany in two suitcases. Things are a little bit crazy right now but so good.
Prayer Requests:
- Packing packing packing
- Last minute details
- Last 16% of my support. (I'm now at 84%!)
Thanks for your support and prayer! Peace.

Packing and Unpacking
Two weeks and counting! I can't believe how fast the time is flying!
Right now I'm in the midst of unpacking from college, sorting through all of my stuff, and trying to figure out what goes, what stays, and what gets thrown/given away. Definitely not my favorite activities but it will get done. It has to get done.
This past Sunday I has the opportunity to speak at my church about what I'm going to be doing. I feel so supported by my church family so it really was good to be able to share about how God has lead me to this place in my life and where He is taking me next. I am so blessed to have grown up in a church that is passionate to know God and see His truth made known to others.
That's about all that is going on right now. I'm now at 51% which is great but I covet your prayers about support right now. God has been so faithful to provide and I am confident that He can bring in 49% in under 2 weeks. Still, I am learning so much about trust even in tight situations.
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the summer. Peace.

30 days?!?!
So it's been way to long since my last update but things have been crazy this last month and will continue to be until I leave. The next few posts will probably be a little shorter but I hope to write them on a more regular basis. For now, here is what's going on.
I spent a week in July outside of Minneapolis at an orientation for my missions organization, Janz Team/Teach Beyond. It was wonderful to meet people who will be in Germany with me and to hear the heart of the organization. I entered the time of training with some doubts and fears about if this was really right for me and left feeling absolutely sure, once again, that BFA is exactly where God wants me. I am more excited than ever to get over there and begin transitioning and settling into this new phase of life.
Right now I inTexas spending some time with my family. This summer I am going to be able to see my entire family on both sides which really is a blessing in and of its self. It's hot (really hot, not just Ohio hot) down here but I love sitting around the pool, going for walks, and visiting old family friends. I really am thankful for this time.
When I'm not traveling, though it feels like I always am, I have been able to work. This is also a huge blessing as I wasn't sure I would be able to get many hours because of my crazy schedule. I'm also donig paperwork and preparing for the big move which happens in less than a month! I can't believe how quickly this time is passing.
Finally, I am at 40% of support! Once I get to 80% I can buy my plane tickets and set the official date for when I am leaving. I have been blown away at the support that has come in in the past two weeks. I am appreciate and am so incredibly blessed by how much you are all willing to give and come alongside me as I embark on this mission. God is providing in ways I never expected. Continued prayer for monthly support would be wonderful also. While I am SO happy to be at 40%, I am still in need to people who are willing to support me on a monthly/yearly basis.
That's all I have for now. Peace!
