Salerno, Italy

On January 28th, I received a call from one of the project director's for Campus Crusade for Christ who told me that they wanted to speak to me!

I called Luke last that night and was freaking out, because I was so nervous as to what they were going to tell me. Then I told him I couldn't call back on the 29th of January because I have this weird thing with 9's. Luke told me to suck it up and get over my thing with 9's and call them back to find out if I got accepted or not. Yes, I listened to him because he was right and I was just being ridiculous.

I called back on Saturday January 29th and so many things were racing through my mind such as "what if we aren't on the same time zone" "what if it is too late and they gave it to someone else?" ....yeah I was freaking out just a little. So, I took a deep breath and called back...no answer, so I naturally started freaking out again with a zillion things racing through my head. I then took a deep breath and said a simple prayer and a few minutes later I get a call...they called to tell me that I was accepted into going to Salerno, Italy!

When I heard that I was going to go to Italy, I cried and cried and just couldn't stoop crying because the Lord blessed me with a dream that I have wanted to do for a long time! I have wanted to get out the country, but I have wanted to go to Italy for a long time as well. I know what makes it even more awesome is that I get to help plant seeds and reach out to others and let them know how awesome the Lord really is!

The Lord has a lot in store for me, he answered a dream of mine, but in return I am reaching out to others and so the Lord and get to go on an adventure together :) I am pretty excited to spend some time with my man the Lord :)

As a start I kind of need a passport first, which I have scheduled to get one on February 17th at 1:00 pm. I need my ds-11 form, birth certificate, 2 personal checks, a passport photo from either Walgreens or Walmart and then the appointment! I am just praying everything will still go as planned and I will be keeping everyone posted as to what I am doing for this in order to fundraise :)

I am excited to get my packet and excited for the start of my adventure!...Thank You Lord :)
