Dear, Heavenly Father.

Dear Dad,

Wow, a lot has changed since I blogged last! It's crazy what can happen over a few short months! The reality that I could be leaving soon is still not sinking in. I've been dreaming for so long about being a missionary in Colombia, that I almost can't picture what it will be like the day this dream becomes a reality. When I found out that I am over half way to my financial goal, I was terrified! Dad, I feel like I am numb. I feel like I should be jumping for joy trying to get the remaining 40% raised ASAP...but instead I just feel frozen. It's an emotion I can't explain. I feel like I want to do a cartwheel and dance because of how happy I am, but at the same exact time I want to curl up in my bed and not leave. I'm glad you understand exactly how I feel because I still don't know how to put it into words. I'm scared, God. Scared of being alone. Scared of being away from my friends and family. Scared that everything I am picturing Colombia to be will be drastically different when I get there. The truth is: I have no idea what I am getting myself into.

Thank you for cloaking me with your truth these last few days! I have needed to hear everything you have told me whether it be in your word, through church, or through other people. God, I LOVE that about you! You are so intentional to each and every need of your children. Almost like you're whispering, "It's okay, Megan. I know how you feel. I know your emotions. I know the lies that you are believing. I know what you need to hear. I know you're scared. I know you're happy, I know you're sad. I know you may be doubting a little bit right now. But guess what?! I LOVE YOU. I HEAR YOU. I AM EQUIPPING YOU. I AM SHAPING YOU. I AM MOLDING YOU INTO THE WOMAN I INTENDED YOU TO BE. I AM ALREADY IN COLOMBIA. I AM RIGHT BESIDE YOU. I LOVE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. MORE THAN YOU EVER COULD. I SEE YOUR DESIRES. I SEE YOUR DREAMS. ALL I CAN SAY IS TRUST ME. ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU MY BEST."

Dad, I don't know how people do life without you! I would be such a pointless disaster without you! I would be so hopeless. So lost. But hey, that's the root of why I am going to Colombia! I don't want to see people living without you!! I don't want to just sit back and enjoy the gift of knowing you while others are still lost. Still searching. Still striving. Still trying to fill this empty hole inside of them. That hole in each and every one of us that can only be filled BY YOU!

God, I'm sorry for the times that I try to fill that hole with something else other than you. Lately I've been praying and thinking about my future husband a lot.What is he doing? What is he learning these days from being in your Word? Is he pursuing missions in some form to? Sometimes I just can't help but think how much easier it would be if I was starting this season in Colombia with him. I'm sure there's a reason why we aren't. Maybe you're calling him to stay in the states. Maybe you're calling him to a different country. My guess is you're still preparing us for each other. Preparing us so that you can receive ultimate glory through our relationship. God, I pray that he is continuing to fall in love with you more and more every day! Please help us be patient, because if he is feeling the same way as me, we can not wait to be together! Lord,help us to trust you; even when we don't understand. I am so excited for the future! Yeah, it may be unclear at times, but I know from past experience that you always have something greater than we could possibly imagine. Help us to keep our eyes and focus on you.

Help me to have faith like Rebekah. She didn't know where Abraham's servant was taking her and she didn't know her future husband, Isaac. She left all the comfort and security of her family/home because you told her to go. She didn't question it, she just said "Yes, I will go". I may not know the land, culture, language, or people but because you are telling me to go, I want to go. In the moments of doubt or worry, I am going to CLING TO YOUR TRUTH AND WORD. It never changes. Praise You for that!!! No matter what emotions I feel in a day or all at once, you stay the same!! There is always a reason for me to be joyful, because your grace, mercy, and goodness never changes! God you are ALWAYS good. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being my CONSTANT! Thank you for the Gospel, because the Gospel changes everything!!!

I genuinely can't wait to see what you have in store!! Keep me focused. Continue to open my eyes to your Kingdom. Use whatever emotion I feel for your glory. In my weakness shine through. In my joy shine through. I pray that when people see me, they don't just see Megan, but rather they see you. Help me to be more like you. Thank you for this beautiful life, Dad. It is truly an honor and blessing to wake up and serve you every day. I love you so much!

Love your daughter,

Megan

Six Beautiful Things God Has Been Teaching Me About Singleness

Hello Family, friends, and followers!

I would like to share something that I have spent a long time praying about, something that the Lord has been teaching me, and something that I feel like He wants me to share!

As I posted last time, this season of being home has been a different, but amazing one. I couldn't wait until my next adventure that will be happening later in the year, so I have been pursuing missions here in the US. A common question asked by friends or people I have been meeting has been,"So what do you do for work?" Or, "What do you do for a living now?". For a while it took me forever to explain, because to be honest, I still didn't really know what I was doing haha. But now, I have come to realize that that is okay. I am confident in my calling, confident that my first and foremost job is to be an ambassador for Christ, and I am confident in who God has created me to be. That's all I need; I have come to realize. Sure, I may not know all the details, but I don't want that to hold me back from the big things that I do know that God has called me into.

Along with God teaching me to not look to an earthly title, but to boldly walk in the calling that He has for my life, He has also been teaching me another HUGE thing.

God has been teaching me so much in this season of singleness! This post has taken me a long time to process/pray through, but I have come to about six beautiful things that God has been teaching me about singleness!

1. The expectation of a "Hollywood" love story.
It is amazing how quickly Hollywood can form a picture of what marriage and falling in love look like! It blew me away when I over heard a group of 3rd and 4th grade girls and boys talking about kissing, being married, and being in love the other day. At first I thought they were just playing around or pretending but as I was listening from a far, I couldn't help but think, "What in the world are these kids watching on TV?!"

It got me thinking, if kids are already being fed all these preconceived expectations of marriage and falling in love, how much more then has Hollywood shaped my perspective on falling in love over the years? Don't worry, I am not going to continue on a tangent about how bad Hollywood is, how they have it all wrong, and how we better have nothing to do with it. But I would challenge you to think about what your perception of marriage is.

Are you picturing that one day; the perfect person will come in, say all the right things, sweep you off your feet, and from the moment you meet him or her you will just know, "She or he is THE ONE."

Honestly, my heart goes out for the guys on this one! Hollywood has basically painted an impossible role to fill. According to the movies, you guys have to: Be sweet but manly. Say all the right things but really listen to everything we say(because in Hollywood the guy picks up on all your hints and can now orchestrate this all day perfect dream date). Be handsome and charming but don't be full of yourself. Step up and be confident(because in Hollywood the guy knows right away that this is the love of his life and has no problem going over the top to profess to everyone that he is interested in you). Buy us nice meaningful gifts but don't be too materialistic. The list could go on and on, but this Hollywood guy can basically read every woman's mind.

When I step back and think about the expectations I have put on guys in the past, one thing comes to mind. Do they expect some of those same things out of me? That is a lot of pressure to put on someone, because the reality is, we are all imperfect. We can try as hard as we can, but at the end of the day we all fall short each and every day. I am not perfect. So how can I put that expectation on someone else and be discouraged when they don't say or do the right thing?

Now, I'm not suggesting going around and saying things like, "All men are the same. They all are just jerks and will do nothing but break my heart." " I will never find my perfect dream guy, so I might as well give up and accept that I am going to be single forever." Ladies, I am here to tell you that there are great guys out there, and it's kind of insulting to lump every man in the "Cheating, no good, nothing but lies" category.

2. Fulfillment 
Am I looking for someone to make me feel whole, fix all my problems, and make me feel happy? This has been a huge thing that God has been working on with me this past year! In all my past relationships I have most definitely let them dictate how much worth and value I have. Which as you know, we are all human, and our emotions change quite frequently. So sometimes I would feel like the most special woman in the world, and other days I would feel like I'm not beautiful enough or good enough to be with that person.

Praise God, that it has finally sunk into my brain that there is no one that will ever fulfill every need or desire I have except for Jesus! Even when the man that God intends me to marry does come along, this man will never be able to fulfill me the way Jesus does. Being married to someone does not automatically fix all your problems and from what I have heard from others; marriage by no means is an easy thing. Someone once shared with me, when you think about it, marriage is two people who sin every day and fitting them together as one. My first thought was, man, I have a hard enough time sorting through my own issues with God, and I don't even have another person in the mix with that yet. But that is one beautiful thing I have realized about marriage. At the end of the day these two people that love each other very much can always come together and meet each other at the core of their relationship, which is hopefully God. God designed marriage as a blessing. He designed two people to come together, use both of their gifts to better serve His kingdom, and ultimately bring God glory in and through their marriage.

Your husband or wife is not intended to fill a void in your heart, that place is intended for Jesus; whether you are single, in a dating relationship, or married. When you are married your most important mission or ministry is to continue to point your spouse to Jesus. Things such as: challenging them to be more like Jesus, enhancing the gifts that God has given them, and encouraging one another when days are tough are all things that we have the privilege of doing day to day in our marriage. Your job isn't to fix that person and strive to make them happy every hour of the day, but to point them to the one that can ultimately fulfill them in every way they need, and that's Jesus!

3. Contentment
This flows pretty well with fulfillment. Being content with the season that God has me in now and not always looking to the future. Do we really want to look back on our lives only to see that the whole time we were living in the future?

A few months ago I was catching up with a friend after my five month mission trip. Before I left, every time I saw her the same subject came up every time: "I just don't understand how I am this old already and I still don't have a guy in my life." "I hate being single. It is literally the worst." "Why does everyone else my age seem to be getting engaged and married? Why don't I deserve that happiness too?" I remember feeling like I wanted to bash my head on the table and just tell her, "I sure hope your next boyfriend isn't around here to hear you talking like this!"

But just wait, it gets better. After getting back from my mission trip her story or main subject to talk about had finally changed, except now I was hearing: "Oh my gosh, Megan. Being in a relationship is so stressful. Everything always has to be a compromise and I'm the one who is always giving in." "Things are going to be so much better though when we're married! Then there will be a solid commitment and we can make plans to have kids! Man, I am so excited to plan my wedding!"

*Insert picture of someone bashing their head on the table*

I literally had to bite my tongue so I didn't blurt out, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!"

Man, this is why God is God and I am not!! My patience with the human race would have died out decades ago. Probably sooner than that actually! I am absolutely speaking to myself here as well, but how often do our prayers turn into lists of complaining or wishing we had someone or something to make us even more happy? When was the last time I prayed thanking God for having me in the season that I am in and that I will joyfully wait for His perfect timing for the next season?

There's always going to be something bigger, better, or nicer when it comes to material things. The second you have purchased this thing that is supposedly going to make you happy or you have reached a new step in a relationship, our brains are already looking forward to the next thing or next upgrade to come.

4. Thankfulness
Chances are most of you reading this have gone through some sort of heart break, rejection, or hurt feelings with the opposite gender. It is so easy to become bitter towards your ex and think, "Well, why did I have to go through all that trouble just to find out that they aren't the one for me?" "Why did they have to cheat on me? What did I do to deserve that?" "How come this person that I am really interested in doesn't seem to feel the same way?" "Why can't I just find "THE ONE'' already, and skip over all this hurt and confusion?"

If you are under the impression that you are the only person that feels this way, that is a lie. You are not alone. I have come to realize though, that instead of questioning God and being angry with Him or that person that has hurt you, we can choose to be thankful. I know, I sound crazy don't I?

But I have realized it so much easier being grateful than to harbor bitterness in my heart. The last break up I had is great example of that. At the time, I was so upset and frustrated that things didn't work out. I couldn't understand why God had me go through years with this person, linking all these soul ties to this person(oofta, I could have a whole new post about soul ties), only to face years later praying that God would remove all of the ties made and restore my heart back to the way it was. But now looking back, I am praising God because He opened my eyes to what was really going on. I had made this guy such an idol in my life that I was willing to do just about anything to get this guy to want to marry me. I lost myself in trying to become the woman that he wanted instead of walking into the woman that God designed me to be. I literally can not praise God enough that He 100% was protecting my heart from future damage when things were falling apart! That's the thing about God, He wants nothing but the best for us! We doesn't want us to just get by or settle! He wants us to have THEE BEST and MOST FRUITFUL LIFE. I think often times we get in the way of that by thinking we know ourselves better than He does!

5. Prayerfully Pursuing My Husband
You or I may not know who our husband or wife is yet but that doesn't mean that during the time that God is preparing us for that person we can't pray for them!

I have been praying for my husband ever since I was little, but these past few years have been way more intentional. God knows who my husband is and knows what He needs! I would encourage you guys to just sit down with God and ask Him what your spouse needs prayer for(whether you are single or married). It is amazing to hear what God brings up and how He will lead you to pray specific things for him or her.

I can't promise that this will make singleness any easier for you. But I know for me it helps me to realize that being single is not always so negative. It can actually be exciting to see all the things that God is teaching you in preparation for your husband or wife!

6. Last but not least, Choosing To Be Happy NOW!
I feel like this is a good last thing to leave with you. We have the power to choose to be happy RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! We can be in the mindset of, " I will be happy when...", or we can choose to be filled with God's joy now! I have come to realize the power of praying out loud and declaring truth over yourself. IT IS SO POWERFUL! I find that the days that I am grumpy or not happy with where I am in life, can be changed in an instant if I give it to the Lord! For example, declaring who you are in Christ, declaring who God is, and rebuking the lie that you are currently believing about yourself can turn your day around real quick! Don't let yourself, Satan, or anyone else rob you of the joy that you have each and every day through Jesus Christ!!

Below is a really encouraging Facebook post I came across that I thought I would end with!

To God All Praise and Glory,

Megan

The Season of Being Home!

Hello Family and Friends!

Sorry it has taken so long for an update! It has been quite the adjustment being home! It has been so wonderful though being reunited with my family and friends that I have missed so much! Here on this post, I will share what it's been like being home, what I'm doing now, and I'm so excited to share what I will be doing NEXT! :D

So to start, I have been home for over a month now! Overall I have adjusted really well, and to be honest I thought it was going to be a lot harder coming back home! I will say, however, that there are definitely moments where I feel like I don't fit in, moments where I can definitely see I have changed a lot and those around me have stayed the same, and moments where I fight to go back to my old ways of thinking. But God has been SO faithful and I think He is 100% the reason why it has been so easy to transition back into "real life"! Before my team and I left to go home, we had a week of debriefing in Hawaii. One of our leaders, Auntie Dorien, shared with us that the same God that has been with us this whole 5 month trip is the same God that is going home with us! God NEVER changes! This really stuck with me coming home! No matter where I go, what I do next, and no matter how much things change around me, God is still the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! He is my constant!

So basically what this season of being home has consisted of is: Spending quality time with my family and friends, working odd jobs(such as doing hair and part time babysitting jobs), being really involved in my church/being involved in my young adults group, and in general just focusing on my relationships! I have had so much joy being reunited with my amazing family and my second family at church!

And now for the golden question! What will I be doing next? *Drum roll*
Through God and all those that supported me prayerfully and/or financially during this trip I have found my calling/dream for the rest of my life! I am happy to share that I will be continuing with missions and hope that this will be my career/way of life! :D
I would just like to take a moment to thank all of you for helping me find and live my dream!! To say the least this trip has completely transformed my life and I am so unbelievably grateful to have the best support system behind me and along side me for this journey!!

Hopefully this video will upload, if it doesn't I have posted it on my Facebook page as well! If it doesn't upload, it is basically answering common questions I have been getting from people, such as: How have you changed since your 5 month trip with YWAM? What are you currently doing now? How did you get into missions? What do you plan to do next?

I have been refraining from telling people all the little details I have been receiving because so many of the details are not set in stone yet. The details I do know are that I am going to be doing an internship which will very possibly be turning into a full time missions position once my internship is over. I do know that my internship length will be similar to the length of time that I spent with YWAM, which will roughly be 6 months!

I will be going to Seattle this fall for a week to get more of the details tied down and by the end of the week I should know where my for sure location will be, how long my internship will be, and when I will be leaving. I know almost 100% what country my internship will be in! Here's a hint...it has been a life long dream to go this country where I originally originated from! :D 

I definitely plan on posting again once I have more of the details!

As for now God has really been teaching me a lot during this season of being home/waiting. A devotion I read the other day referred me to the example of, Jesus(haha, shocker I know). In the Old Testament it talks a lot about the birth of Christ, his parents leaving him behind at the temple as a child, and then "poof" he is an adult beginning His ministry with His twelve disciples and performing super amazing miracles! But what about that time in between? The Bible doesn't give us a whole lot of details, but I'm guessing that Jesus was working with His father in the carpentry business. Now, Jesus, who knows everything that is going to happen, knows all the miracles He's going to do. He knows how many people are going to become His disciples. He knows about every single life that He is going to save, even the lives that don't even exist yet, here in 2016! For Him to know all of that, and yet all the years in between He accepts His role as a carpenter, is pretty incredible!! Man, if I knew I was going to be THEE King reigning over the whole earth, I wouldn't be caught dead in an old dirty shop! But here's the awesome part, JESUS DID! He spent those years "WAITING WELL", which is a phrase my good friend, Jenae, shared with me! He used that time to learn everything He could about His Heavenly Father! He didn't see it as a burden, but as a time where He could prepare and accumulate the tools that He needed for ministry! Whether it be witnessing to His family, neighbors, even strangers; I have no doubt that just because it wasn't titled "His time of ministry" that God refrained from using Him. 

So that's what this season, so far, has been all about. Waiting well. Being used by God where I am right now. Treasuring the time I have with my friends and family. Living in the present. I hope this truth about Jesus is an encouragement to all of you that are in the season of waiting. I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time being patient when I know and I am passionate about what I want to do next! I would encourage you guys to not let the season of waiting well keep you from enjoying life or making you become discouraged! I honestly think this will be a season that I will look back on, and realize that all these moments in this waiting well season where to prepare me for what has planned for me next!

Thank you all for your continued support and prayer! I would really appreciate prayer that I would really listen to what God is teaching me in this season. Also that He would give me His wisdom and discernment with all the big decisions that lie ahead in these next couple months!

To God All Praise and Glory,

Megan

The Final Month of Outreach!

Hello friends and family! 

I am so excited to share with you about the last month of outreach! It was so incredible, these pictures and memories don't do it justice! 

First off I would like so say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who prayed for me in regards to my ear infection! God completely healed me 100% in the Philippines because of His faithfulness and your prayers! 

Since my last update I have said goodbye to Thailand and hello to another family in the Philippines! It was really tough to say goodbye to the staff and children at the children's home, I honestly didn't expect to get so close to all of them! Each one of them felt like a brother and sister to me!

Hello Philippines!! My lovely friend, Jenae, and I flew a week later than the rest of my team(due to my ear infection) and came back in full swing to say the least! We were blessed to be a part of the high school ministry in Manila and then the next day we packed up everything to run a week long camp in Naga, Philippines! 

Camp Lokahi was quite the experience! I had the privilege of leading a group of 10 youth in a small group during the week! Our theme for camp was Moving Mountains! Which was something I was currently going through at the time! There is no way I could have gotten through camp without the strength of God! It was such a wonderful week, from getting to know the people, see 28 youth be baptized, and see a total of 160 kids eager to know more about our awesome God! We also had our first open air, which consisted of reaching out to the local community, performing skits, dances, and worship, as well as feeding all the families that came to our program! It was awesome to see everyone put into action what they learned at camp! 

Our last week in the Philippines we held 2 more open airs, helped the Naga YWAM staff with bar ministry(building relationships with women that work at the bars) and got to build relationships with the Naga staff and their families! It's so crazy how they felt like family in such a short period of time! 

I would say my favorite part about the Philippines was the people! They all are so happy, fun, and love to just have a good time! Oh! And the passion they have for the Lord is so outstanding to see! It's so cool to see that the same God that is doing amazing things in Minnesota is the same God, doing the same things on the other side of the world! Whoa, we serve a BIG God! 

It felt like I only caught the main highlights in this post but I am so excited to go home and share even more! 

On June 1st we got back on a plane and headed to Hawaii for our last week of debriefing the last 5 months! 

I can't believe I only have a few more days left before this adventure comes to a close! I will be returning to Minnesota June 9th! 

Stay tuned for what's to come next! :) Once I'm settled in at home I plan to post again! 

To God All Praise and Glory, 

Megan 

Month #2 Of Outreach!

Sawadikaa (this means hello in Thai) friends and family!

It is crazy that it is almost May! This month of April has been jam packed with so many different experiences and new places! I am so excited to share with you some of the highlights! 

After the Hill tribes we stayed at a church in Chiangmai called City Gate Church! We stayed there about two and a half weeks! We got to share testimonies on Sunday's, share our sign dance, and help keep the church clean! 

One of the day's a group of us went to a main hospital in Chiangmai! We got to sing, perform skits, and simply just make the kids laugh! Lots of the kids were suffering from cancer or other life threatening diseases! Most people in Thailand are Buddhist so they believe that that person must have done horrible things in their past life to deserve being so sick! It was so sad to see all these kids and families seem hopeless! You could feel the heaviness in each room, so it was a true joy to make them smile and laugh!

We also had the privilege of leading out an extended weekend camp for the kids in the church as well as some hill tribe children! My teammate Juliane and I taught the younger children about the fruits of the spirit! It was such a fun week! The kids were so fun to get to know and you could just tell how eager they were to learn more about God! 

These past two and a half weeks we have been in Phang Nga, Thailand in an orphanage with about 14 kids! We have been running a soccer camp for them but have also had lessons about being united in the Spirit, what it means to be family/part of the body of Christ, and how to have faith in God, one another, as well as ourselves! I have definitely found a new appreciation for what teachers go through on a daily basis! I only had to plan two lessons and to be honest I was pretty exhausted haha! It was so fun and rewarding though to see the kids be engaged in each lesson and really have a fun time learning new things each day! Their laughter was honestly one of my favorite parts! 

We did lots of arts and crafts to keep the kids engaged!

The whole crew!

These kids were soccer super stars!!

Being a super hero was just an added bonus this week!

We performed a variety of skits! This one was about not finding satisfaction in earthly things but in God alone!

Some extra adventures we went on on our off days were also pretty spectacular!

We got to see an elephant show and ride elephants one day!!

We had a fair share of exploring night and day markets!

The guys on our team made us mango sticky rice and handwritten cards just because, one evening! It was very sweet (both taste and the jester)! 

I have had many coffee dates with Jesus! We have been living under a coffee shop so the temptation to get coffee has been real! I have loved my time spent here as well as getting to know the friendly staff here! Every time I order I alway got a Carmel Frappe! The staff here know it as "Megan's usual" haha! 

We got to take the kids to the beach a few times! It has been so nice to be back by the water! One night we went "crabbing" which consisted of kids running like crazy tackling crabs so that we could eat them for lunch haha! The other times we went to the beach we played beach volleyball, soccer, and the kids swam! 

Unfortunately I also got to spend a fair amount of time at the doctor this past month! I have had a really bad ear infection that has been lingering since the beginning of the month! I haven't been able to hear out of that ear and have experienced quite a bit of pain! However! God has been so faithful and I've realized because I have had this ear infection it has caused me to relax and take it easy a bit more! That's part of the reason I've been able to have a lot of coffee dates with Jesus, which I have cherished that time so much! 

Prayer requests:

My ear infection is gone(praise God!) however I still am unable to hear and still have pain every once in awhile! Please pray that God would completely heal me 100%! 

Please pray for my team and me because we leave for Naga, Philippines this Thursday!!! Yay!! :) 

Please pray that we move forward united, pray that we would all be healthy as we have a long day day of travel, and pray that we have an awesome last month of outreach!!

Thank you again for all of your support and prayers!! 

Stay tuned for what the month of May will bring! :) 

To God All Praise and Glory, 

Megan

The First Month of Outreach!

Hello family and friends! 

I hope you all had a very Happy Easter!! :)  

Thank you for your patience in regards to me posting on my blog! My team and I just got back from the Hill Tribes in Thailand yesterday and I haven't had wifi until now!

Here is what I have been up to this first month of outreach!

We left March 15th for Chiangmai, Thailand! We stayed in the city for a few days and then left for Omkoi, which is about a 2 hour bus ride away from the city!

This was our home for about a week! No plumbing, phone service, Internet, beds or running water for showers! But on the other hand plenty of quality time with God!

We did a lot of field work while we lived there, including clearing 2 fields! We dug about 200 holes total so that they can plant during their growing season! 

These photos above are from the first Hill Tribe we went to!

These are from the second Hill Tribe we went to!

These pictures are from the last Hill Tribe we went to! In summary we did 7 church services total for the Hill Tribes! It was so awesome seeing God use us to share the Gospel even though we couldn't communicate very well with the Karen people! Our services consisted of our testimonies, teaching songs, skits, and sign dances! We were able to give the proper medicine to those who were sick or hurting as well! The majority of the time we just took in their culture and way of life! I learned so much about how to be hospitable and caring to people I don't even know! They were all so kind and eager to feed us and house us! 

God has once again taught me so so much this past month! I really have found my passion and joy in missions! I didn't think my smile could get any bigger, but anytime I hear from other missionaries/speakers or think about how much joy there is that comes with sharing the Gospel with others so that they may be saved, I just get filled to the brim with happiness!!! God has shown me what I want the rest of my life to be like and what is most important! I am so excited to see what this month of April will bring!! 

Thank you so much again for the prayers and support!

I would like to encourage you all to find that one thing that sets your heart on fire! Life is too short not to pursue the desires and dreams that God has placed in your heart! 

To God All Praise and Glory,

Megan
