Before It All Begins!



Hey friends and family, this will be my blog while I am in Rwanda this summer. I thought this would be easier to post pictures, messages, and maybe even videos then trying to send it all through an email. Plus it will last forever!
Ok well, the last two days of orientation have been very encouraging and uplifting. I have been surrounded by 2o other interns and an office full of individuals that share the same passions that I do. Finally, people that understand me. Not only do they have the same passion to work overseas but they also love the Lord. It's not very often that I am surrounded by a room full of Christians that understand God's hopes and desires for this world. Each intern has protrayed large amounts of leadership in their faith and aspirations, which has made the last two days encourging for me to follow my God given passions. It has been an awesome growing and learning expierence, and I know that God has placed me at Food for the Hungry this summer.

So Fianlly, I leave today at 5:30 p.m. and couldn't be more ready. I'm sick of talking about this summer and am ready to expierence it. First I want to think everyone that has supported me in finances and prayer (hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a bad investment), and I ask that you keep praying for me throughout the summer. Pray that God does big things this summer for my team and the people of Rwanda. I do not want this to be a cool expierence, I want it to be a life changing expierence. I love you all!

Bubba,
You are an amazing Man. I loved sitting with you this morning and just talking. It is nice to have a brother that you can sit with for 2 hours plus and not run out of things to say, a brother that is your friend, and a brother who is wise. I love you so much. The Lord is going to bless you.
Love, Ashley

Bubs,
I am so excited for you!! And I am so happy that you made it there safely. You are an amazing young man and sometimes its hard for me to fatham that my "little brother" is doing such profound and wonderful things with his life. You have a heart of gold and I have no doubt that God is going to bless you through this experience. However more than that, I know He is going to bless others through you. I'll be praying for you daily. I love you and wish you the best.

Love,
Aubs

Hi Aaron. Well I am excited that your trip has already been so impacting. I can not wait until you and I can run the beaches together in Cape Town. Well I will get back to you when I get my new web page! Take care and keep posting and telling about your trip. (I want to vicariously feed the country of Rwanda through you.) Stay Blessed Brother. Craig
