Hello!
So hopefully you have watched my video blog at the top of the page (you totally should!), but if not I'll just restate a few things and talk about the main point of this blog!
I am an International Studies major at Texas A&M University. All INTS majors are required to study abroad for atleast one semester or one summer, and my plan has always been to go in the summer of 2011. After a few months of searching and praying, I realized that God was calling me to use that time for missions. A girl from my church, Meredith, told me about a great website www.rightnow.org. RIghtNow was able to show me several different mission oppurtunites and organizations, and helped me through the whole process.
God started pointing me in one specific direction, a summer internship to Guatemala with an organization called CAM International. After about two months of correspondence and the application process, I received word on July 1, 2010 that I had been accepted for my internship! Needless to say, I was ECSTATIC!
This blog is to write about anything and everything that relates to my mission. I won't be blogging very much until the internship starts, but I will definitely blog my way through prayer support and fundraising. The coming months will be a time where I will be preparing my heart and learning as much as I can in preparation for my mission. I'll post a separate blog right after this that just concisely describes the "where, when, and why" of this mission.
I love you all and your continued prayer and support means more than I can even begin to explain!
-Lauren
