I miss all of you! I've been at Biola for the past week and a half and it's been DEAD here. I enjoyed the quietness and solitude for a bit, but I'm starting to get sick of it.

Anyhooo...I've got a couple of things you could be praying for over the summer :)

1. Europe! Ahhhh it's sooo stressful to plan this thing out! I had my first panic attack about it the other day. I started freaking out because I have never spent this much money at once in my entire life, I'm going OVERSEAS, a.k.a. to an unfamiliar culture (I know I know, I do absolutely love this, but I've been in America for a while so I'm bound to experience some culture shock), transportation is super crazy to figure out, and did I mention that it's costing a lot of money! Ok, so that was the gist of my freak out moment. Praise: I've been doing better the past two days, and have started to get excited again :)

But anyways just pray for safety and that everything will go smoothly and that we'll be wise with our money. And especially pray that God will be able to use us in some way or another while we are over there, I dunno what that'll look like, but I don't want this trip to just be about us. Oh and also pray that Alyssa and I won't kill each other :)

2. My Grandpa. We found out a couple of weeks ago that he has cancer on his spine. As a result various spots off his vertebrae were weakened and they did/are still doing operations on him. I don't know how much longer he has, it could be 8 years or 8 months. But please if you could pray for healing that would be amazing. And especially pray for my mom. She lost her mom to breast cancer when she was 20 and now she's facing losing another parent to cancer.

Oooookkk...those are the 2 biggies, I can't think of any more. But I love all of you and I hope your summer is just splendid. I'll try and update some while I'm in Europe (Cassi you should too!!!)

Oh, p.s., I'll be around for another week and a half, so anyone who's in the area should contact me :)
