In less than 9 hours, I will be boarding a plane that will take me on a crazy and wonderful adventure to the Philippines.  As the hours count down, I am both nervous and excited.  I am nervous simply for the loneliness of the 20+ hours of travelling and the faint uncertainty of what I am doing during my entire time there.  Yes I have a couple ideas of what I will be doing, but those will just be a few days of the 3 weeks of my trip.  I am excited to see what God has planned for me and how He will direct me in the calling of Social Work I feel He has placed on my life.  I have a feeling that this will be just an introductory trip with IT Tender and their ministries.  

I want to say, yet again, a huge thank you to everyone who donated to my trip and has been supporting me in prayer.  I have raised $3,796!!!  IT's policy with donations that surpass the goal, the extra funds go to the organization that the team/individual will be serving as a gift.  This means that IT Tender will be receiving $656!  I am honoured that those of you who chose to help me pay my way there were so generous that IT Tender can be blessed with this gift.  Please keep me in your prayers as I travel over the next couple days and as I serve the Lord with the IT Tender team.
