Its official... I am going to Haiti!! HOLLA WHAT?!
2 days ago, on Wednesday, we got our choices. They were China, India, South America, Haiti, Oman, Azerbaijan, and Thailand to Cambodia. When I first saw these, I had absolutely NO idea where I would go. And we had to let the leaders know our first choice THAT NIGHT. I felt no special attraction of one country over the others. My first thought was actually South America or Azerbaijan (just because it sounds cool). As I got more and more frustrated that I couldn't hear God's voice about it, I started to text my brother, Zack. He gave me an excellent bible verse and told me to go outside to pray about it, so I did. And God spoke to me. Here is how the conversation went down.
"Are you ready to give up the showering, makeup, hair product, to serve?" um...yes.
"Are you ready to do hard work for 3 months?" um...yes
Immediately He said "Then go to Haiti".
Now I open my eyes and looked around. Had i really just heard God or was that me? So I write it down to give to the leaders that night thinking if it was God, he would send me there. If it was just my own voice, then I would end up going to my second choice, South America. Well, apparently Haiti is where God wants me :)
There are 8 people on my team and 2 leaders, so 10 total. 7 girls, 3 guys. A little lopsided, but thats alright. We are already bonding :) We are not sure yet what we will be doing exactly or where exactly we will be going but most likely we will be living in tents :) I don't think I have ever been more excited to live in a tent, not that I have ever had the opportunity to before. Some ideas of what we might be doing there are working with orphans and working in prisons. No matter what we do, I know God is going to show up. He planed this group and this trip and it is going to be AWEEEESOOOOME!!!!
Thanks again for all the prayers about guidance! Love you all!
YAY! That is awesome, Kristi. I can't wait to hear how God uses you there.
