So as written about before, I not only know my summer plans, but I have details as well!!
I will be teaching English overseas in Central Asia for 6 weeks with a team from USC and Wichita State. There are five Trojans and one Shocker :) I will also be a co-team leader with one of the guys from USC and I am super excited for it!! I am also nervous, to be honest, because this is my first trip like this and it'll be a big adjustment in every area, BUT, I also know that with God's help I'll be able to do it!!
And speaking of help, I could use some in order to get there! Each one of my team needs to raise $5100 to go, and right now I am about halfway there, which is AWESOME, but I also need the rest by May 1st! I know God is a big God and this is a BIG prayer request for me right now!! If you would like to contribute financially, your gifts are not only SUPER appreciated, but they're tax-deductible too! Here is the info:
