Friday is the big day. I leave for Costa Rica around four in the morning. I'm so unbelievably excited and I know that God is going to do wonderful things on this trip! I'll actually get to practice my Spanish while I'm there and I'm so thrilled because this tirp will give me a taste of what I want to do for the rest of my life. The 24, I'll be going to Durham, North Carolina for a Campus Harvest and I'm only slightly less excited about that. I'll get to worship and have fellowship with Christians my age from across the country! I have to raise $375 for the Harvest, but I know if God wants me to go, I will get the money. God has just been setting these opportunities in front of me, like He's saying "look, Talley! Look what I have for you!" Thelma also mentioned a few months ago letting me travel with my old EYC group to Mississippi on a trip this summer. Surely God knows my heart! I love mission work and here I get an offer at two trips! I ask for your earnest prayer over the duration of these two trips. Please pray for safe travel and that God will truly change lives! Also, my family has been having trouble paying for my education, so please pray that I will get the scholarships that I need next year. Otherwise, it's student loans or bust (BC and El Toro/the Hall).
