Good gravy - we leave for the airport in 21 hours...

So the past few days have been very busy indeed. I did not think that this internship would require so much out of me, let's just say. I have put soooo much work into this trip and while I am incredibly excited that we are leaving tomorrow, I also realize just how much responsibility I have - I mean, I am partly in charge of 8 other people OVERSEAS! Granted, they are all over the age of 18, but still. Brett and I are the only ones that have been on a mission trip before, out of all 9of us. Oh my goodness.

I am kind of nervous about school - since I am interning for the church, and technically taking the "internship class," our final papers are due on the 8th of August - and I am still in Singapore then. I sent an e-mail to my professor a month ago, asking for an extension on the paper, and I STILL have not received a response. So, I just e-mailed her again, along with one of my favorite professors, BJ, who is a major aspect of the department, stating that since I did not receive a response in a month, that I will turn in my paper late and will be needing an extension. I told her that since I did not hear back from her, I assumed that it would be Ok, especially since we will be overseas FOR the intrnship, for heaven's sake. Please be praying that things work out with the internship and San Jose State...even if, for some reason, SJSU does not count this current summer and the internship I am currently working for and in, I will still be able to walk this May, although they might require me to re-do my internship; and in which case, I will fight tooth and nail to keep it. SJSU admissions sucks....seriously.

Please be praying for our team - Alexandria, Caitlyn, Carissa, Brett, Gircelda, Joey, Chris, Danny, and myself, and we open up doors to future missions in Asia. By the way, check out my Singapore GO Team link to our blog that we will be trying to update regularly. Enjoy it!

God, I pray that you keep us safe as we travel. I pray that you open our eyes and our hearts to what you have to teach us. I pray that we can be living personifications of your love and grace while in Singapore and Malaysia. I pray that you use us, in whatever way, to Your glory, Father. And God, I pray that you remind us of your faithfulness and love daily while serving others in Your name. Amen.
