PDO

PDO (Pre-Departure Orientation) is in full swing!!! I can't believe it is finally here!!!!

We began PDO last night at dinner served by the sisters. Yes, that is right, the sisters... as in nuns! We are staying at a Benedictine convent/monastery. Which is really actually an awesome thing because they have such beautiful hearts devoted only to the Lord. They have devoted themselves to praying for the 44 interns that are going with CMF this summer. How awesome!!! God is so good!!!

We have been learning a whole lot today both about our selves personally and as different teams. I have really be super encouraged through gaining so much knowledge about things I would have never thought to think about. We have also been able to share our testimonies throughout the day to the whole group of us. I have been crazy blessed to hear how Christ has worked through so many different backgrounds and through so many hard situations to bring glory to his name and to bring us all to this place.

I have been able to get to know my teammate Tosha really well!!! It is funny how God works, Tosha and I share much of the same personality but are different in just enough ways that I know we are going to get along great! You know you are going to be good friends with someone when you stay up late talking about your life and feeling safe in doing so. (Which is exactly what we did!) We get along great and already have been deemed "partners in crime" by the leaders here! It is going to be an amazing summer with her!!!!

I can't believe that we are only four days away from flying to Thailand but God has a lot more to teach us before we leave!!!

Please continue to pray for Tosha and I as we prepare to leave and that God will be opening hearts already even before we get there. Please also pray for the safety of the other 42 interns going across the globe to spread Christ's love and hope to the lost!!!

God is so good!!!

All my love,
