new things!

i know i've been neglecting the blogosphere as of late. the following two pics will tell a lot about some new things that have occurred recently in my life. some new, awesome, and incredible new things. okay okay - i'll spare you. for now

on thursday, i leave for brazil for ten days on a mission trip. going to fiera de santana. working with a boys orphanage. i know i'm supposed to go so i'm very excited about it. there's no better place to be than in God's will. please keep me and the team and the people we will be in contact with in your prayers. i'm sure i will have lots to post when i return.

ciao! (i think that's spelled right)
