:)

Heeey everybody! It's about time I give you an update and ask for some prayer, I really need prayer. I started getting sick last friday and since then I've had everything, from fever for days, to a measle-looking rash, and head-aches, achyness, nausea, etc etc etc. I was told to go into the hospital so last night I went but then ended up having to stay until 6 this morning. They took lots of blood tests and put an iv in me just in case. Most of the tests came back alright, but the doctor said there was an abnormality with my liver. not sure what exactly that means, but they thought maybe mono and it's not so that's a relief. If you guys could pray that it wouldn't be anything big and that I could regain some energy, i've been really exhausted and sleeping a lot. Thanks!

After school finished, I started my new job... with the library! haha it's an amazing job and I couldn't have asked God for one that was more suited to what I want to do in the future. I get to create programs and then bring them to do outreach into daycares and elementary schools in the community, as well as a youth drop-in. The programs consist of things like books, songs, puppet shows, readers' theatre skits, rhymes, games, etc. It has been challenging having so much independence at times, but I really love it and am grateful for the opportunity! So that's where i'm at full time until the end of July.

In less than 4 weeks I will be leaving for Bogota, Colombia, where I did my missions trip during Kaleo! I'm really excited to see everyone there again and see what Gods been doing there. after Colombia I go to Peru and then i'm there for 5 months, studying in Lima. This is all very exciting and I look forward to seeing God work and having to trust completely in him, but I'm also a little anxious about it all. I don't know what to expect for any part of it, and im going on my own. please pray that I'll trust God fully with all of this, and that he'll prepare me in whatever ways he sees fit.

Thank you guys!! I love you all and I love reading about how you're doing :)

Hey Peks, I'm hyped for you going to SA. I'll be praying. If there's liver abnormalities you gotta lay of the hooch.
