mmmwwaahhrrp

Thats how you say hello in Pterodactyl.
Its also an instant way to make almost twenty new best friends, when used at the right times it causes instant giggles and brings back wonderful memories.
These past three days we had training for all Georgia Summer Missionaries, and about twenty college kids from all over the nation bonded over our love of God, but also a few pterodactyl noises and some silly stories. To sum up the past few days: Wonderful, God is good.
We had numerous session over leadership, teamwork, and practical information. It was wonderful to hear from so many adults who actually had a passion for serving the Lord.
My favorite part of the whole time was the bonding. Although most of us came from rather different backgrounds, it was amazing to see how we all got along and had an amazing time.
The most exciting part was most defiantly finding out that we have a fourth teammate. Miss Macie :) I am so excited because Courtney, Macie and I got along really really well. It is going to be amazing to get to serve, giggle, and grow together this summer. We decided that Lyndsie will fit right in even though none of us have met her. In fact we now all have nicknames, Court, Sparkles, Cait, and Dav. We not sure how Lyndsie is going to appreciate the name Dav...
God is really at work preparing us all for service this summer. Ms. Alice told us of area volunteers who will come along side us. God is preparing something big, something larger than I can really imagine. He is molding our hearts to be ready for his service, something that became very apparent during training.
Please be in prayer for our team, and what we shall be doing. I am so nervous/excited/ready to be used by God. Please pray that our hearts will be ready to be used by our wonderful Maker.

Temptation in Tybee

I can already tell this whole titling thing shall be very entertaining :)

These past few days, I have been absolutely honored to get the opportunity to go to Tybee island with BCM leadership. I have been given the position of outreach leader for next year, and this week served as a preparation. We spent many morning sitting talking of this year and how it went, but also looking at the future. It also served as a chance for the little "freshman" as we are so lovingly called, to spend the last few days of the year with our awesome graduating class. It really was just an awesome trip, and a perfect chance to get away and fellowship.
Tybee Island is located just right outside of Savannah, so needless to say, I am so excited! As we walked around Savannah last night, I couldn't help but think that this shall soon be my new home :) These past few days have only whetted my appetite for serving in that part of Georgia. It is so beautiful, and the people are so friendly, but even as we drove the need was apparent. So needless to say I was very tempted to stay in the area, and never leave. I am so excited, I know God has a lot to teach me between now and then, but I am excited!
