keep on truckin'

So, I know that you will all grieve my absence, but you will just have to go on blogging without me for a while. I am goin' west to seek out new adventures. On Thursday I am leaving for a short-term mission trip to South Dakota. I am a sponsor for a high school youth group. We will be driving out there (a two day trip both ways) and then staying on the Pine Ridge Native American Indian reservation making bunk beds for kids. It will be an awesome trip (as long as I can get enough sleep and caffeine). I am so excited. I've never been to South Dakota and I've never been to a reservation. This particular reservation is one of the poorest in the nation and I know that these kids (and maybe even some of the adults) will be very shocked at the conditions. Pray for patience, endurance, and for an open heart as I hope to serve effectively. So I will be leaving the world of blog for a little bit and then re-joining all of you again when I return from my native American excursion. Peace out.
