Almost there....

Hello! Today is going to be a long day! That's the way it always is before leaving on a trip. I finished packing about half an hour ago and am now doing a few things to make sure I am ready to go. One of them being cleaning my room so my sister doesn't have to put up with the packing mess(which is the worst of all messes). I am so excited to go! We will be meeting horribly early tomorrow(if you can even say morning); 1:30 am. That's not even right! Our plane will leave MSP at 5:20 am! We will be in Honduras by lunch time tomorrow! AHHHH!!! I received an email this morning from Dan Monson, our missions pastor. He said that he had spoken with Pastor Olman, our host. Olman told Dan that we will not be able to stay in the parochia. We will instead be staying in a 3-bedroom house. Will you please pray that God will give us all patience and generosity as we live together, 30 of us, for a week in the same house? I have to admit that I am a little freaked out about the sleeping arrangements. This move shatters all my plans for organization and packing. Right now, I just keep praying/remaining myself that the Lord has chosen this house specifically for this trip and team. His plan is far greater than we could ever hope to understand. We will do our ministry, no matter where we stay because we are going down to do the Lord's glorious work, not to sleep! I will probably email you tomorrow right before I leave. From then on, my mom will update or email when I am able to call her or when she gets updates! Thank you again! Will you please continue to pray? Here is the prayer I have been praying! "Father God, I thank you for this opportunity to AGAIN go to Honduras! I thank you for giving us the resources to do what we do. I don't always understand why you have blessed America so greatly, but I pray that I will never fail to remember that you have called us to share what you have given. I have been given so much, help me to give even more! Father, I know that you have hand-chosen each and every member of this team for a very specific and beautiful purpose; even if they will impact only one person. I pray that we will remember that we are down there to do your work, not pad our resumes. We have been given this opportunity, help us to use it to the fullest! I pray that you will give me courage to do what you want me to do. I pray that you will give me patience with every person on our team, some in particular. I pray that I can work with them, and help them to fulfill what it is that you want them to do! I pray that you will give me the courage and the words to say if you have chosen me to speak to Pastor Olman's church or on his radio. Father, I know that you have a plan for this trip. Help me to set aside my hopes and agendas and be completely open to yours! Help me to hear your voice amidst the noise and busyness and help me to listen and obey! I love you always!" Thank you again for your continued support! Oh,yeah! Undie update! There was total 1017 donated as of Sunday! I received more yesterday, but those will not be going on this trip! 200 pairs went with Pastor Z. on his trip to Africa, the remaining 817 pairs are packed and will be going to Honduras. They will be brought to each clinic and given to every woman who comes through our clinic. If some still remain at the end of the week, they will be given to someone who can give them to those who need them and were not reached by our ministry! God bless you!
