Pre-tour

Written on November 5th with no access to a computer or internet:

I'm writing this right now, get this, on paper. I know, stone age right? Well, I'm sitting in a giant white 15 passenger van caravaning somewhere on the Ca 99. I think we just passed the beautiful Kern, California. Fresno here we come. Week 14 of the DTS is going to be spent on the road, in churches, and at colleges in Central and Southern California. By the time I'm able to post this it will be past tense, but I'm over it if you are. We are going all these places raising awareness about human trafficking, talking about YWAM and DTS. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Public speaking and I have a love hate relationship. Without warning I will sometimes feel like I'm going to puke everywhere the moment I start speaking. Everyone on the school is either going to speak on human trafficking, their DTS testimony, or their personal testimony. I'm speaking at a church in Fresno Sunday night about my DTS experience and what God has been doing in my life in Vegas. I'm also speaking at a church in Irvine as well on Thursday giving my personal testimony. I just hope I don't trip walking on stage.

We leave in 16 days from today(9 days now) Everyone is getting antsy. It almost feels like I have high school senioritis all over again. We just want to go and experience the next step of our lives. The Monday we get back from tour we have to get shots. Can't say I'm very stoked for that.

I don't think I realized how much I missed hills, grass, and trees. 3 months of the desert almost made me forget what all that was like. We get to go to the beach in a few days. Pumped! We have like 5 more hours of driving before our first stop in Fresno. And I forgot to charge my iPod...
