Hello everyone!

 I am so excited that in one week we will be on our way to South Africa :)  I am really looking forward to meeting you all and experiencing the growth God will bring about in our team.  My name is Elizabeth, I'm 23, and this is my first mission trip.  I studied abroad in SA during college (University of San Diego), so I am really excited to go back and spread the hope of Jesus to the country that stole my heart.

 My roommate is Meredith (she's been better about posting than I have!) and she recommended I look at www.floydandsally.org before we go.  It is the website of the founders of the ministries in the communities we are going to (you all may know this already, but I wanted to make sure!) and I would really encourage you to look at it to get a great sense of where we're going and the heart of the ministries already there.

My prayer for our team is that we live out John 15 and abide in Christ so that we can bear fruit for God's glory.  Pray, pray, pray for each other, our leaders, and those we will meet in divine appointments on our way there, while in SA, and traveling home.  So excited!

Blessings,

 Elizabeth
