Off to the Wilderness...

A nice sunrise to wake up to before football practice for the tournament.
Today I trek three hours over bumps road, and slight rain, over the mountains and rolling hills, to a village. I will be in this village for four days. I'm beyond excited for this experience but even more nervous. I therefore ask all my PRAYER WARRIORS TO UNITE!
I will be going with some Pastors from Rayburn Presbyterian. They will be leading a Seminar and I will just be tagging along. They said I will have time to play football with the kids and "just be a local". I will also be talking to the teachers there, the Pastor told me to talk but didn't tell me what to actually talk about. So I'm a 20 year old kid with no teaching training telling them how to teach.... great. haha. So I'm pulling a little speech together and well see how it goes. Also from what I heard village life is roughin it, which if you guys know me I'm gonna love. They said its like camping basically, no electricy or running water, the kind of thing you'd expect in a far off village. That part just adds to the adventure and has me stoked.
So if you could just pray for the talking with the teachers and interacting with the kids, that'd be awesome! Safety is also a kinda big concern. There has been some insurgency all over here before, so if you could pray for safety that'd be sweeeetttttt.
Thanks so so so much! Be looking so a super duper big update when I get back, with a bizillion pictures about the trip!
