Hello again, I am amazed by Gods provision already. It has been a blessing to meet with Gods people and hear stories and personal testimonies of miracles. This last weekend I drove down to Oregon to visit my Grandparents and meet a teammate from the squad, Rachel Farner. While I was there I was provided the opportunity to speak to a group at my Grandparents church. I was blown away watching God move in the hearts of people who have never met me but yet they answered Gods call. 

It was so exciting to meet a teammate and a person who Loves God with all their heart. We got a chance to get to know each other while playing top golf and making a pit stop at a freezing cold beach and top it all off with an ice cream. My takeaway from meeting her is that I'm so excited to be surrounded by people my own age who also seek after Gods heart and I'm so excited to start this journey with them!

However before I set off on the trip there is more preparation to be done. I will continue to need more prayer, as what I learned from my Grandparents is that behind every successful missionary there is a team of prayer warriors. I will also continue to fundraise and seek out individuals that I can be a vessel for God to use to impact.

"Plans succeed through good counsel; don't go to war without wise advice" Proverbs 20:18 NLT - I reference this scripture because I believe that as I prepare for this trip God led me to some of the wisest and most experienced people I know to impart wisdom into me, My Grandparents 

Until my next post, Ethan
