Camp is over. It was so great. God definitely moved through the students and leaders. Can’t wait to share. Tonight we rest, and tomorrow is the after party with the students. It will be a lot of fun but also sad to say goodbye to the people we have spent every waking moment with. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement. See you all next week.
Love.

aitah

Allo my friends. We have arrived after about two days of travelling, half on a plane and the rest of the time on a bus, ferry, and walking. It’s crazy. Everything is pretty different. The thing that is most challenging is the language difference. I think the ones of us on the team that know no Estonian feel bad. We gave been learning some phrases like aitah, which means thank you! We are all at a coffee shop now. Tomorrow we train for the english camp that starts on Sunday. Last night we stated at a hostile/house/hotel. It was pretty sweet, very nice. There were so many different people. Sorry this blog is very scattered probably because I can’t see the whole screen on the iPod I’m typing this on my iPod.
Love to all.
P.S. you guys are seven hours behind us in time. It is like 5 in the morning for you guys.

feelings

AHHHH! I am so excited. During this whole process, I think I only stressed about money one time, which is awesome because I use to be a huge worrier. God freed me from that! Our team raised the money we needed with no problems. Yesterday, I started to feel a little overwhelmed, tired, nervous, scared. I think that is probably natural. Joseph encouraged me to read some scripture and pray about it. It was nice to just sit and reflect on why I am going over there. Then at college group, I was really encouraged by my friends. REALLY encouraged. I felt so loved. I am excited to be that to other people, to be encouraging and loving. I don’t want to shove anything down their throats, I just want to be a light to the girls and guys in Estonia and share what God has done for me. I must pack, but I will leave you with a picture. Feel free to post a caption. 

love.

I also want to thank my sister for crocheting headbands for me. she is a natural.
