Beginnings

Today I feel like I am beginning the adventure of a lifetime! I left Des Moines this morning en route to ABWE in Harrisburg, PA. ABWE is the mission agency I have chosen to team up with on my journey to Brasil and I'm here for Candidate School (CS), which is my first round of training. To start things off, tomorrow at 1:00pm I have my Oral Doctrinal Exam at the mission agency. I'm a little bit nervous but feel well prepared to state what I believe and where it's found in scripture.

CS start first thing Saturday morning and goes until after dinner the following Saturday. And from what I hear from past attendees you just need to hang on for the ride and soak in as much you can!!

I'll post about the happenings out here when I can. The hotel does have wireless internet...I'm just not sure how tired I'll be at the end of each day to write. But I'll do my best!

I know there are people praying for me back home - I can feel it. I am so excited for what this journey has in store and I'm anxious for tomorrow to get here! Right now you can just pray for a restful and relaxing night.

The verse(s) I'm clinging to this week are Psalm 90:1-2. "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust."
