Dear Friends and Family,

It is happening! I am officially going to be a missionary. Yes-a missionary. I didn't think I would ever come to this point in my life, nor am I ready. But somehow God thinks I can do it, so all I can do is fully trust and follow Him! I'm incredibly excited to embark on a new journey to serve the Lord in Mexico City for a year.

I will be completing two different programs with Latin America Mission. The first Summer Immersion Program is from June 5th-August 2nd. The second program is from September 17th-mid August 2014. I'm not quite sure where I'll be placed yet or what my day to day will look like, but I'm content in knowing that I will be challenged, led, and loved by other missionaries, LAM, and the people of Mexico City.

Please be in prayer for me as I prepare my heart for this new endeavor. I'm not sure what's to come, but I am so incredibly blessed to have this upcoming experience in my life. I can't wait to share this year with you, to laugh with you about my horrible Spanish, to skype your family, to be updated about Longwood life, to pray with you, and to potentially have some of your visit me!

Thank you for your emotional, prayerful, and financial support. I would not be where I am in life without your love and encouragement. Thanks for being there through it all! Please contact me with any questions, stories, and prayer requests that you have!

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Amanda :)
