Mexico

Guess what. I'm going to Mexico after I graduate!!! :D I'm soooo excited. One of my friends, Seth, is a missionary in Mexico, and back in fall of 2009, he came and spoke at my youth group about Mexico and his life down there. At that point, I really wanted to go to Mexico also. Then, in the summer of 2010 my youth group and I went on a youth retreat, called Plunge. He was one of my leaders. I got to know him better and hear more about Mexico. I decided that I would go on a mission trip to Mexico if the opportunity ever presented itself. But, it never did. What I had in mind was one mission trip: a week or two. But that's not what God had in mind. Seth came back in the summer of 2011 and spoke again of Mexico. As you know, I decided not to go to college. But I was wondering what I should do with my life. After Seth spoke, I knew what I was going to do. The Lord told me to go to Mexico. :) For how long, I don't know. Maybe a year or two. Maybe my whole life. I don't even know when I'm going to Mexico. It may be right after I graduate, it may be several years. But I'm super excited. And you know what's even cooler? The Lord told my BEST FRIEND to go to Mexico also!!!! And neither of us knew that the other was going! Or even thinking of going!! wow. God is sooo good. :) So that's it then. My and my best friend are going to Mexico together by the grace of God. :) hallelujah!!!!

May the Fourth be with you....

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a long time. I've been super busy. Anyway, yesterday was May 4th, also my best friend's birthday. She is now 17. =) She is gorgeous and I love her. Anyway, yesterday evening, Chick-fil-a was having a fundraiser for boys in Cambodia. Basically, if you ate at chick-fil-a on state line and said that you were with TrafficJam, 20% of that money would go to help build a shelter for the Cambodian boys. Our whole youth group went. It was a blast. And then a couple of my friends and I walked to Target to buy my best friend a birthday present. Anyway, yesterday was a good day. :) hopefully we win our soccer game today... bye!
