So, according to a website that counts down things, we have 209 days until we leave for Poland. That is way too long for me! I wish I could just be there now, but noooo we have to wait.
Applications for CCU2theWorld missions are due today and I am so excited to see who has applied for team Poland. This next week is going to be busy with school and doing interviews, but regardless I am super excited and blessed. I know a lot of people have expressed interest so ya never know.
The last few weeks (or however long it's been since I updated this thing) have been really crazy! We had a CCU2theWorld chapel and we did an event at JumpStreet. A lot of people expressed interest in Poland when we talked to them so that was really exciting.
Right now I'm in a coffee shop (hope I don't get hacked by a crazy computer hacker...) and this coffee shop in particular has foreign money hanging on the wall. Of course naturally I looked for Polish currency. I found some which was awesome and it just reminded me how excited I am to be there. Gotta appreciate the little things.
Anyway, I don't have much to say so I apologize with the lack of update here. I'll be praying hard this week for all those interviewing and I can't wait to see who God calls to Poland :)

I'm going back to Poland!!!
I am going back to Poland in 2013! I am so excited. Words can't even express my excitement right now. I have been writing in my journal often and thought that I should start an online blog to keep everyone up to date on what's going on.
I am co-leading the CCU2theWorld trip to Poland this year with Katie Thomas and I am so excited to be working with her. We already have several people interested in going and I can't wait to see who my team is going to be.
I am really excited to be doing this. I'll definitely be needing lots of prayer during this whole thing. I know that stress is going to come along with this as well as other feelings of inadequacy and worry, and I don't like feeling that way.
The title of this blog is "till the whole world hears". Kelly Nichols, who does all the CCU2theWorld stuff, sent this to us in emails and says it in meetings and it really inspires me. I used to think missions trips were just to Africa or other countries that very obviously need the gospel, but in reality, everyone does. Dark eastern European countries do. America does. I do.
Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
