Ready. Set. Go!

Well, I have already discovered this blogging thing might be a bit of a struggle for me! However, I will do my best to keep it up to date.

Thank you very much for taking an interest in my life and this trip to Salem. I am getting very excited for the trip. I have been talking to Sara, the leader of the trip, and she said she is getting more of the details secured every day. Most recently, she has been talking to the YMCA in Salem to see if we can shower there. (I'm really hoping this plan will work out!)

Currently, there are 6 of us signed up for the trip. If you could keep us in your prayers that would be great! At our next meeting, I will ask everyone if they have any specific prayer needs for the trip.
                Sara
                Bailey
                Erin (me)
                Stephen          
                Brandon
                Max
      Prayer for Finances is at the top of a lot of peoples' lists. We have to raise $500 for the trip by March 1.

All of us, except Stephen, went to Salem last year as well. We are really looking forward to going back. 

I am most excited to go to the Night Strike in Portland. If you click on this link ---> Night Strike <---,  it will take to you to the website. On the website there is a list of things the organization needs. If you feel the Lord is wants you to send any of these thing to Salem, let me know. We can work something out to get it over there to provide for God's people.

Thank you so much for checking out this blog! If you have any encouragement for the team, e-mail it to me or post it as a comment here.
