El Salvador here i come

Last night i ended up going to bed at around 3:00, but right before i was going to head up to bed, my dad walked into the office...he couldn't sleep and was just getting up as i was going to bed. crazy how that works. but i slept in until 1:00 so i was fine, its my dad who is lacking in sleep.

tomorrow is the commissioning service for el Salvador, we leave on friday! i am extremely excited but nervous becuase i am afraid of forgetting to pack something. the first two nights we are going to be training and it is going to be very hot at night, but after that we will be sent ot the mountains where its is 70-80 degrees during the day and around 30-40 at night. that adds a lot to the packing list. a sleeping bag is the big thing. so i have been praying and asking God to help me remember every detail that i need to. and i have also been praying and want prayer for my friend who is going on the trip. a week and a half ago, her daddy died. he had been stuggling with cancer for 6 years, and my friend was really close to her dad. so she really needs prayer, especially with the trip coming up and everything. i have really just been praying that on this trip she will experience great things and come to realize that God is her heavenly father and he will become her strength and her peace! i can't tell her i know what she's going through, but the one thing i can do is pray.
