Mexico Support Letter!

Friends and Family,

This past trip was so good! It was such a major opportunity for me to feel chosen to be part of the team called to Haiti. God called me to be a part of His plan to heal Haiti! That just amazes me so much. I didn’t know what to expect when I was planning for this trip and preparing myself. I knew there was going to be oppression, broken hearts, starving people, and places of darkness, but I have never seen so much hope in a country!! I see hope in Haiti, I see hope in the people! The people were truly a blessing to me. I learned so much just by seeing their way of life. I could see so much joy in these people. They know there is a God and they know my God will heal them and their people!

Being with orphans everyday was absolutely incredible! There sweet faces just brought a smile to my face every time I saw them. We did many activities with them. We helped the children make bracelets and greeting cards, which will be sold on www.healinginhaiti.com starting in April. We did a lot of construction on the orphanage home. We put up a solar panel, as they had never had light in their house besides the daylight. They now have lightbulbs in each room! We made water filtration systems so they can have clean water daily! We also put together 15 beds. This was a big deal for me, because just thinking that those children slept on HARD, DIRTY, ROUGH, concrete every single night just broke my heart. Now each orphan will have a bed to lay their sweet head on, so they can "sleep sweetly." They were so excited when they saw them!! It seemed that most of them were just in shock. It was such an honor to be able to go down and serve the Lord with everything I had. I’m ready to go again!! Thank you so much to the ones who financially supported me in this trip, so that I could be a part of HEALING this nation! You will be blessed! 
As I have the past 2 years, I feel called to be a part of the Mazatlan, Mexico Summer 2011 trip as well.  Missions is becoming a huge part of my life just because that is what God has called us to do, GO to all the Nations proclaiming the GOOD news!  I’ve been to Mexico with my church group for the past two summers. Being there so eye opening, and changes the way I see things every time I go down there!! 
This summer we are doing something different. Usually we visit the villages and spent an abundant amount of time just loving on sweet children. This summer, we are planning a summer camp for the youth group in the church we are working with. This is going to be very awesome for them, because they have never had an actual “summer camp” put on for them. We will be taking the same camp(Beach Week 2011) we do at Thompson Station Church for our youth group and doing it in Mexico. 
Please be praying for my team and I as we prepare for this trip spiritually and physically! Most importantly, is prayer support.  Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God's leading.  Without prayer, little, or nothing will happen.
But also finance comes into play. The cost of this trip is $1500! It sounds like a crazy expensive trip, but i feel that God will provide me with the money! Where He guides, He provides! But, if you would like to help me financially for this trip it would be greatly appreciated!! If you do, you can send to:

Please make your check payable to Thompson Station Church. In the memo section of the check you may add Mazatlan Mission Trip 2011. Please do not include my name on the check, but you may add an extra note(sticky note or something) with my name on it in the envelope. All of your contributions are tax deductible if the check is made payable to the church without my name on it.
Thank you so much! May God bless you for your time and support for my trip!!!
