Time to go

Well the year long wait is over.....I leave for Kyiv at 1:30 today:)

I am sad to leave, but ready to go. I know God is calling me to this, and while there may be challenges, I'm ready for this. It's so crazy to think back 3 years ago to when I was first getting involved with YWAM Orlando, and heading to the Dominican Republic as a 15 year old kid, and now I'm leaving to YWAM Kyiv for my DTS. I'm so grateful for YWAM Orlando, and all the people that helped me get here, and to my family for helping make who I am.

I do have a prayer request. The airline I'm flying with, Lufthansa, is on strike. I already had to change flights once, and there is a chance the strike could continue through the weekend, and my plans could get changed again. I already have a 14 hour layover in Frankfurt, so PLEASE pray that everything goes smoothly and nothing gets changed!:)

Well I leave at 1:30 PM. Assuming everything goes according to plan, I have a short flight to Washington, where I'll have a short layover, then a long flight to Frankfurt, then a 14 hour layover, and then a short flight to Kyiv. I'll end up travelling for close to 30 hours, and I'll be arriving at Kyiv at 1:30 in the morning. Not an ideal situation, but God is still awesome, so it will work out:)

I will update the blog as much as possible while there, although there may be times where I'm not able. Please pray for me. I can't overstate how important that is to me. If you would like to support me, you can visit my GoFundMe page at

Well, it's time. The next time I update this blog I will be in Ukraine. Thank you for the prayer, encouragement, and support you guys have given me.

See you in February, and I'll keep you updated on this amazing trip:)
