12 days till we leave!! (by: Alyssa)

Hello Everyone!

It's getting closer and closer. It still doesn't seem real that we will be boarding a plane in under 2 weeks!
God really blew us away with how much he provided, in terms of items for the orphanage! We have filled THREE large suitcases of clothes, books, tylenol, underwear and other things. Pretty much all of that was donated by the congregation of Greenwood Avenue Baptist Church, our church in North Bay, and we are so thankful to them for that.
Right now, I am feeling pure excitement for this trip, although I know that the nervousness will probably kick in as the day approaches. I have read some blogs of girls that are at the orphanage right now or who have been there before, and I feel that I can confidently say that this will be a unique experience for sure! I know God will use this adventure to change the way I think and feel about the world, and THAT is very exciting.
Thanks again to everyone for your support - whether that is through the donation of items, financial donations, or through your prayers! We appreciate it all so much!

Alyssa :)
