One week away!

In just one short week I will be boarding a plane to China for a month. WHOA.

It seems so weird that it is so soon.  Since I have been home I haven't really done much of anything exciting.  I have been going to the beach a lot and even house/dog/cat/fish sat for a week and a half for one of my favorite families here.  Other than that I have been soaking up time with my family since we won't be seeing much of each other before I go back to Asbury in the fall.  

This summer my Dad, Mom, and two sisters will be heading to Nepal to work at an orphanage and my little brother will spend his summer in Honduras.  I am so blessed to have a family that travels to such awesome places to do God's work every summer. 

This summer is going to be a challenge in so many ways and I know I will be stretched in new ways.  This is my first time going to another country by myself.  I have been on a number of mission trips but have always gone with groups of people.  I know that going by myself will be difficult.  I have about 4 layovers before I actually get to China so it should be interesting. I am excited for all the opportunities I am going to have and to teach English to adorable kids. 

I don't know how much internet access I will have once I get over there but I plan on updating this regularly (mostly so I can remember everything for my paper I have to write at the end of the summer. Shhhh).  

So excited for more of this :)
