Hello praying friends!
Well lots is happening and life is pretty exciting. I have spent the last week on the road visiting friends and family, and although I am ready to not be in my car, it has been a sweet time of conversation and sharing about what God is doing in my life!
Few things to be praying about:
TRAINING: I leave for New York tomorrow morning for a 2 week training. I am so excited to connect with other missionaries, dive into Gods word and be equipped with tools that will be invaluable on the field! Ed finished his training last night in Minnesota, so together we are getting ready to roll!
SUPPORT: As of last night I have 75% of my one-time costs covered and 5% of my monthly expenses. God is providing left and right and I am so excited to see His faithfulness! Thank you for all your support and help!
PREPARATION: I am moving to a Muslim culture and extreme poverty. It is going to be in a completely different life and although that is exciting, it is hard at the same time. Pray that I am able to mentally, physically and emotionally prepare for my life in the next year!
Thats all for now!

Life is fun!
Its June and I am 2 days from away from being done with school. I will have my last Final on Thursday, so I am pumped to be almost completed with undergrad studies.
A few updates with Mali
1- Support raising has begun! Letters are going out Friday and I am stoked to see God move quickly. That being said, it is going to take help from everyone to see this to completion. Please pray and consider being a part of my financial team.
2- Well, for all those not in the facebook world, I should let you know I am in a relationship. About 2 weeks ago, I was asked to be in a relationship by my good friend Ed Trussell and I said yes. At the time I had no idea what this would mean with me heading to Africa and him graduating this term too-but trusted God was working. Well, I came to find out that Ed had been probing around behind my back and was accepted as a fifth and sixth grade teacher at the school in Mali as well. So what that means is he is joining me in Africa! Its still a little unreal, but exciting at the same time.
3- I head to New York for training on June 27th and will be gone for 2 weeks. The training is specific for Missionary kids and the people that work with them overseas. I am super excited to be surrounded by like-minded people and hear what God is doing around the world, as well as gather tools that will help me be more effective in Mali.
Please continue to be in prayer regarding Gods direction, porvision, and grace in this time of transition!
