Hey Everyone!

I started this blog about two years ago when I was preparing to go to Australia. I swore then that I would keep up with it and make sure that I kept everyone updated with what was going on in my life. As you can see by my measly two posts, I did really well with that.

Just as an update to my life these last couple of years, I returned from Australia in March of 2010 forever changed. I got a job in Maryland working at summer camp for 3 1/2 months working with 3-6th graders which I absolutely adored. I then came back to Florida and spent precious time with family and friends, and worked as an interpreter. I've had some amazing opportunities to travel with my work, see some gorgeous places and meet inspiring people.

The latest update I have to give is that I have decided to return to Australia to work with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). This is the same organization that I went to Australia with the first time. I originally went to Australia as a student to a DTS (Discipleship Training School), this time I will be returning as staff!

The plan is to be there for up to a year and during that time I will be staffing DTS, working with students, doing local outreach in the community, doing an outreach to another country and helping out around the base. During my DTS we did a month long trip to Indonesia and it was life-changing. This time around I would have the opportunity to help lead a team to another country, what an awesome experience!

At this point, I have done everything I know to do to prepare for this long trip overseas. I have sold my car, gotten rid of all my furniture, received my visa, bought the airline tickets and I am just about ready to go! I am looking forward to this amazing adventure I have ahead of me and I will definitely keep you updated!
