YYYYYYYAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY ONLY A COUPLE MORE WEEKS UNTILL THE AMAZINGNESS BEGINSSSSS!!!!!!!
Sorry I had to get that out of my system.
It all started with me going to Guatemala last year. I went with my youth group (New Life Glenside). There was 10 kids and 2 leaders. I had the most amazing experience of my life, so, naturally, I wanted to go back again. I spent litterally about 5 hours after church one day with my friend to work on the application (handwritten). I was wary because I knew that a lot of people were applying, but because I had written such a good application I was sure I was going to get in and i pushed the thought of rejection out of my mind. A couple of weeks later, though, while i was at dance, I got a call from my twin sister. I had not gotten in, along with my twin (Ashley) and my two bestest friends (Hannah and Jillian), because we had all gone before. I started to tear up because I was so upset.
I continued sulk the rest of that week, because I was really looking forward to going on an amazing trip to spread the word of God and help the poverished people of Guatemala. One day, when I was chillin' on facebook, I saw and ad that said something like this:
"Are you a teenaged christian girl who just got denied for going to Guatemala with your youth group and are interested in going on a missions trip? Click on this advertisement!"
I lied, it didn't say anything like that. But it might has well, because I practically peed my pants when I saw the ad. I quickly clicked the advertisment and learned about all of the different missions trip there were available for teenagers like me to go on. I saw a trip to the Amazon Jungle and I got reeeeeaaaalllllyyyyy excited. I then realized that it would be a LOT of money to raise in a very short ammount of time. I then saw the perfect trip-
Guatemala (Central America) - 6/30/2009 to 7/14/2009

I called AIM and BOOM! There I was, a little dazed, but the feeling passed as I realized that I WAS GOING TO GUATEMALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here I am now, writing this for you all to see how God provides thing to those who ask him. Funny how facebook IS actually good for something............
I am so blessed, and extremely thankful towards AIM, all of you guys, my financial and prayer supporters, my friends + family, and most of all, Jesus Crist for making it possible for me to be able to go on this trip. My love and gratitude goes out to you all.
