GO GLOBAL X

Well Steven and I have actually come to a point in our marriage where this blog title actually makes sense! When we decided to not go on the 11 month mission trip to South Africa, we still wanted to go somewhere. We had heard only great things about Global X (which is our church’s mission trip organization) so we got information on the trips they offered. Most of them are 10 days long so we thought it would be a great way for us to dip our toes in! We applied for a trip to South Africa (we still felt called to go there) back in January and last Friday we found out that we were 2 of 8 selected to go! Needless to say, we are pumped! We haven’t had a team meeting yet but the last we heard we will be doing a leadership retreat for middle and high schoolers while we are there. That is perfect for Steven and I! Not only do we connect better with kids closer to our age but we are wanting to eventually get involved with that age group at our church at some time or another so this is a great way to test out our skills!

So I am happy to say that this blog will now be a way for friends and family to finally keep up with our “honeymoon highway traveling!” Right now we are praying for our group and partners in South Africa, starting to think of ways to fundraise, and our team leader told us to start working on our tans because it will be summer when we go… little does he know that I am totally taking this seriously! It gives me a reason to go to the pool so why not!
