Yay I'm going to Chile!
Yay i'm so excited!! I applied to go on a missions trip and it was either going to be India or Chile!! India because i went there when i was 13 with my family and i thought it would be really interesting to go back there, maybe see the people that we meet up with again. Chile because it was something completly different and from the little bit of information that i learned it seem like a really cool place with a great culture and would be a totally new experience for me. Not too much of a shock that i would be able to handle and not get too homesick!! I think that if i was in India i would miss my family too much because there is so much to adjust too even though i'd allready been there it would be different without my family. So anyways i was praying to god asking him to make it clear to me which place i was too go to and i just wasn't getting anywhere so then i started thinking maybe God doesn't want me to go on a missions trip, maybe the timings not right and i don't evenknow if i can sacrifice some things like buying clothes in order to save for it. Sometimes i think that New Zealand its self is a mission field and we should be evanglising to our own kiwi nation before we go out of our own country. But what is its too late by then???. Anyway carmi rang me on sunday too tell me that the India trip had been cancelled because there wasn't enough interest but i could still go on the Chile one yay!! I was so nervous that i wouldn't been selected either cause they asked some really tough questions.
But i'm so glad that its finally clear when i meant to go cause now there is only one place i can go if that makes sense!! No i just have to start getting the money together and saving and fundraising and praying!. But hey if God wants me to go then i'm willing to give up some sacrifices yes i know even clothes!!

Congratulations! Chile Team '05, that's really cool! You're gonna love it, and be challeneged by it... yay! But you won't have to give up your clothes, they're not a nudist colony country. :-)
I haven't heard from Carmi, but presumably the CEMissions blog will start up again, so you might want to link to it or something like that - http://cemissions.blogspot.com/. I'll bug Carmi about it, especially updating who's going and where.
P.S. The sooner you start to learn Spanish, the better. ;-) Que BUENO!
