10 days 22 Hours 47 Min 06 Seconds until departure

Wow I can not believe 7 months ago the lord called me to Skien, Norway. When I first applied to do this, I can honestly say I had no desire to go, I was getting ready to go to school next year and I was just applying for the heck of it. But a week later Eric (my Young Life Leader) told me that they had called him asking some questions about me, and I just kind of shrugged it off. A couple of days later I got an email from them saying I was accepted and they would really like it if I came and served with them next year, I paused for a moment and asked God "Is this You Lord? Is this Where your calling me?" A week later I got something in the mail from them, saying I was accepted and they would really like to come serve with them next year. Right then I knew the Lord was calling me to Skien, Norway for 9 whole months.

Well now I leave in 10 days, and it has been awesome seeing the lord bring everything together in such indescribable ways. With money, work permits, traveling documents and all that stuff that usually would stress the crap out of me trying to get all this stuff ready. I handed it over to God, and it was all taken care of with no problems at all.

I just ask that you guys can keep me in your prayers as I head off into a foreign countries. And that the lord will keep me safe, continue to pour out his blessings, and that his will be done. And also my parents, my mom is not very comfortable with me leaving the country for this long of a period of time. So pray for them as well.
