My dream is to do the will of God for my life and I feel called to missions. I love people! In the year 2012, God put it on my heart to go to the missions internship class in Singapore. So here I am..... finally in Singapore!! :)

4th day in Singapore! Had an awesome day!!! Just a preview from the first couple days I was here......My body wasn't adapting well to anything. I got here an was shocked by alot of things. I was scared and felt homesick. Everytime I ate I felt nauseated. My body was freaking out over everything. The only students that had arrived were me, Tim, and Sean, so I could barely wait for Jenn and Sarah to arrive. I felt like I would feel comforted by the fact that I would have girls here and that I could relate to more. But I found that even though I felt a little better when they arrived, I still didn't feel much comfort. I needed something more and I thought that going home might help; not that I would go home or had the choice to. Finally, after leaning on everything else for comfort in this uncomfortable place in my life, I decided to lean more on God at this time and to completely trust Him. I had to be reminded that I am coming here for Jesus and to grow in my relationship with Him and that I need to become completely dependent on Him. He is the air that I breathe but once I arrived here, it was like I stopped breathing for a moment. The enemy tried to come in and steal from me and discourage me. But I had to remember that my God is with me WHEREVER I go. He is protecting me right now and has His hand on me and I need to acknowledge that and not freak out. I think I'm finally past all the culture shock and getting sick every time I eat something over here. Thank you JESUS! Singapore is absolutely gorgeous!! I love it here. Today was Sarah Gauthier's birthday so we celebrated with her waking up to m&ms an a snicker. Then we went explore! We went see the beautiful Merlion (a lion head with a mermaid tail that had water spewing from it's mouth), which was actually only the second largest in the world. Across from the Merlion we were able to see the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. It's three huge buildings with a ship built on top that holds some amazing sights at the top that we weren't allowed the privilege to see. But we were satisfied to be able to capture it's beauty and also take shots of the durean building. For lunch we ate at Toastbox where we got kaya (coconut jam) toast which we dipped in half cooked eggs with lemon iced tea. It was de-lish!! We ended the day by coming home, working out with Zumba, and heading out again to a restaurant where I ordered wanton soup which was great. What a fantastic day! Can't wait to see what else Singapore has for me!! :)
