The beginning of my adventure

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my new "blog."  Instead of emailing everyone each time I have an update, I will be posting my adventure to South Africa on here.  The title, "Digging Gold in South Africa," is the theme for this year's trip.  We will be digging gold in the sense of meeting, living, learning from, and worshiping with the beautiful people of South Africa.  I'm very excited to be going to South Africa with my group for the semester.  I look forward to the challenges and experiences that I will gain.  I'm also looking forward to building a community with my fellow classmates.  Thank you for all of your prayers and emotional support on this trip.
