I can not believe that the missions trip is two weeks away!
We had our last training this past Sunday, and I believe it was the most encouraging and uplifting meeting we have had as a team. At the end, we had a time of prayer and encouragement together, and seemed like something broke in regards to bringing us closer as a family than just a team and meeting every few weeks! The Drama team is going well, and we got to perform for the team--the Lifehouse skit also shown on youtube. We are also doing three skits for the VBS--David and Goliath, Joseph, and the children coming to Jesus.
I do appreciate prayer for me emotionally as it is getting closer and to rest in His control and His love. Thank you all for your prayers; we greatly appreciate them!

Another India Miscellaneous
The last couple Sundays have been filled with India times :)
Just this last Sunday, the girls on the team went to a place in upper California called Little India. It is placed in a city in California and specifically geared to all places Indian--food, clothing, people, etc. So, we looked at bangles (bracelets that the Indian women make to sell), punjammies (the unique clothing women wear) we found for $7 and $10 (quite cheap for clothing such as those; more expensive in India [I will have to take a picture of me in mine!]). The lady working there agreed with me that it was definitely the color and style for me! At the end, we walked over to a place where you can try some snacks (the packaging said "San Diego" on it, so only manufactured here in CA, not India). I really liked one of the snacks that had a mix of sweetness, crunchy, and yet a kick to the flavor (think of a trail mix). One of the girls that lives close by to me picked me up and went together. It was good since we got to know one another better :)
The Sunday before we had another training, and this one was unique in that we shared our testimonies and learned how to pray for one another in regards to waiting on the Lord and asking Him how to minister to His child. It was a good training time together. Our next training is this coming Sunday and our drama team is meeting afterward for a couple hours to go over some skits. Thank everyone for your prayers!
Blessings and love,

One, Two and counting
I wanted to update my friends, family, and readers on what was happening so far. Just a bit ago, I wrote out my support letter draft, and earlier worked on my visa application! It feels good when you get something done...
Coming up, I have my second training on Sunday the 25th. Pray that all of us will just simply have joy. joy, and more joy of the Lord and unity in our team. May the love of the Lord just shine in all of us :) If you would ever like to find out what to pray for specifically, I have a separate page named "Prayer Requests" on the right-hand column.
I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and my brother bought me an I-tunes gift card. Through searching over secular songs, I found a song by Chris Sligh named "One". I believe it fits perfectly with our prayer for our team:
