Brief 6-month recap.

Sept. 25, '08: I was on a plane to Lausanne, Switzerland, for a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I was there for three months. As part of my discipleship, I went on an outreach.

Dec. 16, '08: Flew from Switzerland to Cairo, Egypt. Here I ministered to the Egyptian people for two and a half months. I would be entirely misrepresenting my experience if I didn't mention also that I was ministered to just as much as--or more than--I ministered.

Feb. 27, '09: Returned to Switzerland. Had the most inspiring, energizing and passionate reunion with beloved friends. For the next week, we de-briefed the outreach experience and prepped to return to our designated homes/next-steps.

Mar. 6, '09: Set foot on U.S. soil. And since my arrival, I feel as though I've been going none-stop to make my next steps happen.

Mar. 30, '09: I'm a day away from my flight to Kona, Hawaii, where I'll be studying at YWAM's University of the Nations (UofN), in the School of Digital Film-Making (SDFM). I was just notified of my acceptance a couple days ago. I've been working on fundraising ever since I returned home over three weeks ago, as well as going through the pre-requisite homework for the school for just over a week.

I want to give a special thank-you to all of you who have been supporting me with your prayers and/or finances: I couldn't have done this without you! Your prayers are heard, and they do not go unappreciated!

I plan to continue updating all of you mainly on this blog. My wish is to stay in contact with everyone as much as is humanly possible, but I'm going to need all of your help to achieve that! Please, nag me for updates 'til it happens! I will appreciate this very much =)

I love you all!
