Ain't No Mountain High...

So the secrets are all out and for the outreach portion of my school I will be traveling approximately 7300 miles away to....
NEPAL!!!
Monday night we had our outreach reveal night - which was ridiculous! Our school was so excited to find out what teams we would be on, who we were going with and who our leaders would be, and our wonderful school leaders and staff had a blast delaying as long as they possibly could and trying to trick us (they thought they were so funny and it was hilarious). Then they explained to us that  each of us were to get a piece of a small map of the country we'd be going to, then we have to find everyone else in our team by putting our puzzle pieces together and figure out what country it was! Such a fun idea! The leaders all went to hide in a back room (we didn't know what leaders were leading what team), and one by one they called us up, made us do funny things, turned off the lights and then revealed our leaders to us! It was such a fun and exciting night so full of joy and laughter!
My team is 13 people total, 8 girls and 5 guys including our amazing staff leaders Hailey Bland and Matt Bryd. It's going to be an amazing team!! We've had a couple of our small group meetings and each week when we do community outreach we'll be in our outreach teams as well, so we'll get to know each other super well before we head off to Nepal! We haven't been told much about what exactly we'll be doing yet in Nepal but we'll find out more in the weeks to come.
Thanks for all your prayers and support! We'll be finding out the exact cost of our outreach soon so I'll keep everyone posted and then I'll know how in finances I'm doing as well.
More on week two to come!!
