May/June Updates

Whew! It's been a while since I was on here! And so much has gone on since the last blog -

My computer fel and broke a week before finals. I had to purchase a new computer and then the new computer's hard drive was faulty, and I will actually get my new computer back tomorrow! Oh my!

I got to see some friends get married - Karuss and Jeremy in April, Sarah and Rob in June, and Steve and Stacy in June, as well. Three down, I think two more this season! Bring it on! (Thank goodness I'm not in the wedding party, too!)

Singapore is still crazy - we have a total of $4,012.89 left as a team balance. AND we are leaving for Singapore in 29 days. Please pray that we can get the remainder of our balance in before we depart. One of our teammembers, Akalina is also having issues with her citizenship and being able to apply for a passport. We are unsure if she will be able to come on the trip and will probably know/find out at the last minute, too. I am slightly nervous and feeling frazzled about Singapore - mainly because of the nature of my role and the leadership position I have and therefore the stress and uncertainty that comes with it. Please pray that God gives me a level head and a stress ball to cope with it all in the days to come.

My friend of mine that I have known since 3rd grade, Lauren's dad Terry passed away on Saturday night from a massive heart attack at the age of 52. The family is coping with his loss right now and trying to stay strong. Please keep the McElhatton's family in your prayers, especially for the mom, Robin.

Right now, I have a week left of summer school and then my vacation/work really starts. I need focus to whip out my paper before Monday - the past two days,I have been feeling really lazy and have not worked on it. Oh boy!

In two weeks, my twin sisters fly out from North Carolina and I am super excited to see them again! A week after that (in three weeks), my Mom, youngest sister, and brother fly out and we are going to have a massive family reunion day on the 26th of July! And not only are we having family time, it's also meet Chris time, as well. So, part of me feels nervous about them meeting each other, but the other part of me is to focused on Singapore to even care. I know that they will get along (Chris to family), but still the dynamics that my family can have with and among each other is the part that scares me the most.

And then we are flying to Singapore on July 31st. Oh my goodness!

Please keep the team in your prayers and God will work miracles like he always does!
