Next Summer

Yes, I know it seems like I am getting ahead of myself...but time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana (I LOVE puns)!

I just got off the phone with MTW (mission to the world) doing my phone interview to be an intern in summer 2009. The interview went well and they will be sending my information to my three field teams of interest this week! My top three choices are Quito/Guayaquil, Ecuador (http://teamecuador.mtwla.org/), Mexico City, Mexico (www.mtwmexicocity.org), and Lima, Peru (http://limanewcity.mtwla.org). Both Ecuador and Peru are church plants that have ESL, Youth, and Children's ministries. The Mexico team does RUF (Reformed University Fellowship) and ESL for college students. I honestly like the ministry work in Mexico best (I really want to do ESL and I would fit in with the college "stuff"); but I would like to visit South America (and my mom wants me to go there too!).

Another option I am considering is staying in Asheville...

I would love your prayer as I pursue different options.

On another note: Today is my Grandma's Birthday! Isla Ruth Mills Stowe was born 80 years ago! I called her this morning to wish her a happy birthday and she told me about her big birthday lunch she was having with all her friends. The food they were all bring sounded so good, I considered skipping class and making the hour and a half drive to her house!....(but I decided not to skip class...)

I went to the State vs. South Florida football game on Saturday night. We lost and it rained....HARD!

Jeremy (co-RA) and me. I had a plastic bag on my shoulders to repel some of the water.

I was able to ring lots of water out of my hoodie by the end of it all and it rained so long that even my underwear was wet when I got back to my dorm.
