Pre-Season

Wow, I'm still in awe of how this all came together. In less than 24 hours I will be on the true and proud Continental Jet heading towards Pohnpei to work as a [ enter your own job title, probably have a better chance of guessing it than I would]. No, I am thrilled, from what I am hearing now from the Vice-Principal, Kat Schroer, I will be assisting with the Elementary. All the other missionaries have already started the Big Game over there, almost a month for them I think. I thought this semester was going to be a totally different sport for myself. One where Ace's weren't from the Williams twins and winning scores weren't from the NY Giants, yes I was en route to a fun-packed semester of school. In the past few weeks, seems better to say days, God has put together a journey for me to head towards Pohnpei and be His light.
 
Many of you know that last semester, winter 08, I was headed towards Bere, Chad in Africa. I was to work there for several months at an Adventist Hospital. To give you the nutshell: The trip fell through and I worked at an amazing little elementary school in New Jersey, Tranquility Adventist School. I'll try and write more on that later, but after another amazing summer at camp this year, God is sending me[along with my sponsors] to Pohnpei. I will do my best to keep you updated on what is going down over there. I'm enjoying my last few hours in Pre-Season, one would say I've got the Pre-game jitters, but one things for sure is that when I get there, I'll be running strong like I've got the Vince Lombardi trophy in my hand. Excuse my football favoritism, but Yes, my Boy's are still the World Champs. Please keep us in your prayers, your in mine..
