Puerto Rico!

My first big event with Campus Outreach is less than 2 weeks away! I will be going to Puerto Rico for a whole month with over 50 college students to share the Gospel on the campus of the University of PR in San Juan. 

This will be an exciting time for all going: not only will we be learning how to evangelize, but we will have personal training as well in the Word (Scripture training), prayer, and leadership. We will also have language and cultural classes at the university. 

We will also do some work with the local elementary school and the church we are connected with. 

It will be a jam-packed four weeks, but I know that I am going to learn so much, as well as all the other students. 

Please pray that God gives me the desire and heart to lead the specific girls (younger students) I have been assigned in a discipleship group, and that I am open to sharing the Gospel with strangers.

Graduation...and the start of something new

I did it! I mean I really did it! I graduated from Jacksonville University over a week ago already (time flies...when you are doing nothing but recovering haha- I'm seriously thinking that all I've done since coming home is sleep...eat...read...sleep...repeat)

I cannot believe how fast the past four years have gone by! I always thought those seniors who said they felt like they just moved on campus were just trying to be nice and sentimental, but for real, that's how I feel! And it's definitely a little weird. 

I had the best experience I could have asked for at JU! And for that I am really thankful. But here's the best part. I wasn't too sad at graduation because I will still get to be at JU next year! Just not as a student...which could be awkward at first..we'll see :) I'll get to why I'm staying in Jax in a bit. But first, I wanted to give a shout out to the best friends a girl could ask for!

My three roommates have been such a blessing for me! Each and everyone of them have impacted my life in such a good way. I will truly miss living with these lovely ladies, but I am just thrilled at what God has planned for all of us!

My dear friend Hannah has been by my side for three and a half of my four years, and boy, I don't know what I would have done without her! I think we took every science class together :) People teased us that we were attached at the hip, but in my opinion, we were the smartest ones there--we knew we'd have a great lab partner/study partner for every class! We are like two peas in a pod and I know that we will be friends forever! 

SO what am I doing next year??

I have joined the staff of Campus Outreach Florida and will be on the campus of JU discipling students! I am really excited about this opportunity and pray that I can serve Christ by sharing the Gospel with younger students. 

Accepting this position is teaching me a whole lot about faith and trust in the Lord! I have to raise my own support in order to work on campus, and that in itself will be a challenge I have never encountered before. Please pray that the Lord will provide supporters!
