Preparation for Module 1...

        I am about a month away from leaving and have mixed feelings.  I am so incredibly excited for what is to come this September but also terribly afraid of missing home.  For all who don't know, I am going to be heading down to San Miguel de Monte, Argentina, an hour out of Buenos Aires, September 3rd, for a ten month bilingual bible program call Word of Life Argentina.  Fortunately, I will be home for the whole month of December to rest and recharge for the Module 2 (January through the end of March).  Module 3 starts and ends in April to July 6th!  Although, the best way to prepare for this is to take one section at a time.
        So starting September 3rd, I will be leaving my American life behind and will embrace the warm culture of Argentina.  Over this year, I will be immersed in bible and spanish courses that will set my foundation for the ministry that my Lord has called me to.  During this time, I will be working with different ministries around the area, studying His word intently, and expressing my desire for the spanish life.
       The way the Lord led me to this decision is incredible, involving complete surrender of my life to His will.  I had my "own" plans thinking that they were "His" to which I was soon proved wrong!  He asked me to give Him this year of my life to spend at Word of Life Argentina to study His word and the culture that He has layer upon my heart to use in my life.  While driving home from the Miami Airport after landing from Argentina, the miles of Alligator Alley allowed the Lord to reveal to me what He wanted me to do, just whether I would actually listen and surrender.
  So PLEASE! Continue to read my blog as I will be writing prior to leaving and all through out this year so that you can pray and be plugged in to what the Lord has for me each and every day! Thank you for reading! :)
