A New Adventure

In a week and a half, I'll be embarking on yet another new adventure. This time, I'll be traveling to the Philippines with Ben, Bonnie, and Shawney to do clean up work from the typhoon that passed through several months ago. I am so excited about the opportunity to do good in the world, yet am nervous as this type of work in unfamiliar to me after spending my past few summers working overseas in education. I think it will be a great learning experience and will really test me, but only time will tell!

Tacloban is the city that I will be living and working in. CNN recently posted this great article about all of the progress that has been made in 6 months, yet I know that there is still so much work left to do. I can't wait to be humbled and to learn about a new culture, community, and way of life while learning more about myself and the person that God intends for me to be. I'll be arriving there on July 8th, so check back around then for periodic updates and reports from the Philippines.

Until then, God bless!
