EGYPT! Here I Come!!

On Monday I will be leaving for Egypt...and I am beyond psyched!

We'll have a lovely 10hr layover in Amsterdam (holla!) and then it'll be on to Cairo!

I promise to update as much as possible, even if it costs me sleepy time (awesome, I know) so that you can all follow along with my adventures!

I'm still super busy finishing up my prizes for the end of camp so I won't have much down time between now and then so I thought I'd give this intro when I had two seconds to breathe.

Here's the deal:

I will be traveling with a team of about 30 people from my church, Lake Pointe, to EGYPT!! We will be leaving the states on June 18^th and returning on July 1^st. After spending the first couple of days in and around Cairo our groups will split and my group will travel a couple hours north to Camp Wadi to help coach a seven day sports camp for Egyptian children. Kids’ Game Camp (KGC) is broken up into a few different camps over the summer and we participate in KGC 1 which is for kids that are 11-13 years old. 

Last year I coached Volleyball (gulp – I hadn’t even touched a volleyball since middle school) but it went very well (the Lord works in mysterious ways!) and I befriended many children, most were young girls that were thrilled to have an adult sit down and just listen to them. I helped teach them how to appreciate, love and forgive. I still correspond with many of them via Facebook and can’t wait to see them again very soon!

So start the praying now; prayers for enough interpreters, safe travel, overall safety, welfare for our families while we are away, and that we can accomplish what we are there to do - be good examples and plant the seeds that will grow into lifelong friendships and instill values that will never be forgotten.

-Until next time!!
