Pray: Phase 1

Today I had a meeting with our Trip coordinator. It turns out that the leader from Phase 1 is no longer coming on the trip at all. There is another team in Hong Kong while we're there, but I am now the team leader for the first few days.

Preparation

Please pray for us as we prepare the lessons, the service and the school assembly these upcoming weeks. That we would be bold but wise and that we would have confidence as we teach and serve. I am needing to preach as well, which is new for me, so prayer is appreciated!

Team Dynamics

Our team is all girls and we have been seeing each other nearly everyday since the beginning of September. This is great on one front because we know each other quite well, but could also pose as a problem if any conflicts arise! Please pray that we get along well and that we can resolve any differences well! 

Clarity

This will be my first time ever in SouthEast Asia, and we will need to find the school, meet the teachers and get set up on our own. Please pray that the language won't be too huge of a barrier and that we will clearly find our way around. 

Thank you very much family! I have not felt very stressed at all since school started this semester and I know prayer is a huge part of it. I used to always hate the term "we covet your prayers" because it is SO Christianese, but I am beginning to understand how true it is! So, regardless of my previous convictions, I covet your prayers!!
