Go!

Greetings from Hawaii and Happy Father's Day to you fathers!

I asked you guys to pray for a miracle, and the Lord provided! After a very stressful 25 hours, our team of students raised over $33,000 of their needed $66,000 and pledged the rest from their own pockets so that we were able to bring the entire team to project (for a while, it looked like we would have to send some students home). They will continue raising support while they're on island, but we want them to finish that as quickly as possible so as not to detract from their missions experience.

We left California in the wee hours of the morning for an early flight today and are now unpacking and settling in the UH dorms. It's a little strange to be back - coming into the summer, I definitely knew that I would have expectations from my last experience here as a student on project, but it's really hitting me now that this is going to be a different summer -- different people, schedule, dorm setup, amenities, responsibilities, etc. As someone who likes the known and doing things the way they've always been done, this realization comes hard for me, so would you please pray that I would be open to change and whatever else the Lord wants to teach me this summer? Thanks.

Please also pray for:
- Student financial support to be completed as quickly as possible so that they can focus on the summer missions.
- Praise God for bonding the team as they stepped up together to work on support and encourage one another.
- Good communication among the staff team and to our students
- Rest and our team to know when we need it. Personally, I am exhausted from the flight and being around so many new people all the time (I'm an introvert, in case you couldn't tell)

Thanks and let me know how I can pray for you all!
