Hi everyone!
I will be leaving for my trip in less than a week - on Saturday, May 28! I am so excited, but I'm also definitely nervous about the entire thing. We will spend 4 days training in CT before flying into Uganda. I am stoked for team bonding/learning/etc during training, but I'm even more excited for the part about actually going to Uganda! Please be praying for my last few days in NC - that I would use them how God wants me to use them. I have a couple requests in particular:
- Other students on my trip are still raising money! Please pray that we would have peace in God's financial plans - because we know He knows what He's doing; it's just not always easy to see.
- That I would be able to be well rested for this trip. I've had a lot of issues with getting enough sleep and being really fatigued in college, and I really want this trip to be a time when I can have enough strength and energy to serve God fully! Please pray that I would be able to recharge during these last days at home and be completely ready to dive in when I get to Uganda.
- That God would be preparing our hearts and that we would have no pride in ourselves or in our abilities. I pray this is a time for all of us to learn about Jesus' humility. I pray we can live this out every day (even when we return) and that we can learn about living selflessly during this trip.
I will probably post on here once more before leaving, but I just want to reiterate how grateful I am to everyone who has supported me - whether through prayer, financial contribution, or a kind word of encouragement. It has meant the world to me, and I cannot wait to see what God will do. I am confident that He will teach me so much.
In His love,
Camille
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
