This week's update

Well it seems that I can't make it on here as much as I'd like and when I'm thinking about it, it's unavailable :) Not a whole lot more is different but I do have some exciting news that I got today. I and a few other guys were pulled into a meeting with Mr. Bland this afternoon and we had a discussion about summer teams and leader locations. After discussing options for a while I've finally been placed with a team, as promised. Betty (head of leader placement) was throwing several team options my way here and there where there was a need. I basically said to just place me wherever I was needed and she said she'd get back to me. So today I'm "officially" (nothing is really final until you hop on that plane to leave haha) the head male leader of the Ecuador Preteen Team. It's the second largest preteen team going out this summer, and I'm even going to be leading with the same head female leader I did last year to Australia (provided that doesn't change either) which is an awesome blessing. Heather, if you're reading this, you should totally sign up too :) Our whole leadership from last year would be reunited. Anyhow, it's in the mountains of Ecuador and I hear the temperatures are even more extreme on the cold factor than Australia last year! South America and Africa are the two continents I have not been too before so it's neat that I'll be able to go there. (Belize and Honduras are Central America which is technically still North America; the location in Siberian Russia was over the Ural mountains so was included in Asia)

Another important note: Thank you to all who have been praying for me, especially for my problems with my wisdom teeth. I have not had any pain in them for almost a week now and it stopped right after asking for prayer. Thank you again, the Lord is truly gracious.
