It's been awhile...

Okay time for an update:

This summer has been ridiculously insane. It has been very nice to be bored for a change these past two weeks, having time to rest! I have had time to actually read and do crosswords! :-D I got back from an amazing trip to Guatemala. We were there for two weeks. It was really neat putting pictures and real places to the stories my mom told me about her years growing up in Guatemala. For example, we went to visit these really neat Mayan ruins right outside the town of Huehuetenago where my mom and her siblings used to roller skate. We were there mainly to be apart of the dedication ceremony for my Grandad. He spent many years translating the Bible into a certain dialect of Ixil. It was neat to be apart of something so important to him, as well as catching up with cousins, aunts, uncles, and sight seeing in the beautiful country!

Plans for Costa Rica are really coming together. I still have no idea where I will be living, but it doesn't seem to be a huge deal to anyone so I'm not stressing about it. I have about 50% of what I need as far as funds go. I still need the rest to come in, but God is good and I have complete trust in Him that he will provide.

I am so excited about this trip. I think I am leaving on October 1, assuming that it is a good day for me to arrive there! Please continue to pray for everything to finish coming together and that God will provide the rest of the funds I need.

Also, I have begun sending out email updates if you're interested joining email me at angelagracehobby@gmail.com.

Thanks for you prayers, love, thoughts, and support! :-D You're awesome!
