It's official!

I am on my way to Monterrey! Yeah!

I received a letter today from the mission organization that I will be working through and it confirmed that I am cleared to serve in Mexico. I am pretty excited, thankful, and very blessed. I keep thinking of the lyrics of the Casting Crowns song "In Me." It says "How refreshing to know you don't need me. How amazing to find that you want me." That is how I feel, so blessed and amazed that God would want to use me as a missionary to carry His message to people in another country. Continuing the same song, "So I'll stand on your truth, and I'll fight with your strength, until you bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me."

I can't even express how awesome it is to know that I get to spend all of my time telling people about what Jesus has done for me. I have spent the majority of my life tyring to find significance and a purpose in so many things, and have come to realize that there is no significance and no purpose outside of Jesus Christ. I can't wait to go share that with people who are still searching. I am so blessed to be able to go onto the mission field with one purpose, to tell people about Jesus full-time, without the distractions and divided interests that I have lived with for so long. Thank you God!

Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for this mission, and check back here often for updates, pictures, and to hear how God is working in my life and the lives of others.

Dios les bendiga!
