Hi all!

You are reading a letter that I never ever thought I would be writing!  Davis mentioned to me that he really wanted to go on a mission trip to Tanzania this summer.  Originally, my thought was to find a chaperone guardian and send him on his way to Tanzania while I prayed for them comfortably from the United States. But God. This is apparently not how God thought this trip should go down. The Holy Spirit sweetly pressed on my heart that I too needed to join my son   and go share the love of Jesus. This is completely out of my comfort zone, but something that I am now really excited about getting to share with Davis.  So, Davis and I are trying to raise the funds for us to go to Tanzania June 6^th-16^th. The mission for the week is to put on a Vacation Bible School for the school that our church supports plus the Tanzania government schools. I recently learned that we will have at least 500 kids come to our VBS every day! I am actually so humbled that God would choose Davis and I to go on this trip. I dislike asking for money very much and I have never done this before, but our God is a God who provides. The cost is $3,300 for each of us and we are trusting Him that we will raise $6,600 between us. If you are able to give, we would be so grateful.  If you are not able to give, we completely understand, but we ask that you please cover us in prayer. Please pray for safety and good health. Please pray for God to use us to and pray for Him to transform us to make us more like Jesus through this awesome opportunity!

Hey everybody!

At the end of last year my friend, Jake Gilmore, asked if I was going to go on a mission trip this summer. I told him that I probably wasn’t going to go. But all throughout the week I felt God pricking at my heart saying that I should go. So I asked my mom if I could go to. Another road block was that I wasn’t sure which country God was calling me to. I prayed about it and one morning I saw the picture of my pen pal from Tanzania. Also, this was the trip that most of most of my friends went on last year, and they said that they grew in their faith. I hope that God will teach not only the kids through me, but that He will teach me through the kids. The Lord is the only one to thank for this chance.
