Sometimes God gives us opportunities that we would never excpect...i am going to Turkey in a little over a week! So crazy! It all started when last Tuesday I sat down to eat lunch in the SDR (Student Dining Room) next to a friend. Jokingly, she asked me if I wanted to go to Turkey with her for spring break...the girl that she was going to go go with had backed out last minute. Well...i actually put thought into it, prayed about it for a few days, and really feel like this is where the Lord wants me for spring break. I am so incredibly excited!
We will be staying with missionaries for a few days, and living with some girls our age while we are there. Just some quick facts about Turkey:
it is the largest unreached country in the world.
there are only about 3,000 believers in the entire country
it is 99.9% Muslim
Please pray for us, as we go, for divine appointments, conversations, and that we will both just draw so much closer to our Lord. Pray that we will both learn a lot, and that we can be an encouragement to the believers there.
In HIS strength-may i continue to decrease until people only see Him when they look at me.

MarMar,
I got the lead part in the play! (thanking God profusely)More details are on my blog...now the more important thing:
how was your trip home? are you safe? and, how can I pray for you this week as you get ready to go? call or write if you've got time, i love you sis!
We regret to inform you, the faithful readers of this blog, that upon returning from her recent trip to Turkey, mar-mar appears to have been rendered speechless. We hold out hope that this condition is temporary, and eagerly anticipate her soon return to the blogosphere!
