Egypt!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to let you in on a little something I haven't shared yet :)

In May I am going on a missions trip to Egypt! Jeremy and I are coordinating the trip with my mom and fellow APU students. There are 6 of us going and we are so excited to enter a new land and share the love of Christ!

You may ask, why Egypt? Originally the team was going to go to China. But since those plans were not working out the way we wanted, we decided to take a new direction and pursue helping along side family friends Pastor Gamal and Moni Hannah in their church and ministries in Tema, Egypt!

We will be leaving the 9th of May and flying into Cairo. Here we will be lucky enough to do some of the tourist things such as seeing the pyramids, going to the bazaar, and seeing the Nile! After that we will be taking a train ride down to southern Egypt into Tema where we will be spending a majority of our time and living along side Pastor Gamal and his family. We will arrive back in the states on May 27th.

In terms of safety being American Christians we are assured that this will be a safe trip and will have Christian Egyptian translators who act as our guides. We are not expecting any issues with safety.

God is Good and ALIVE in Egypt! It is 90% Muslim and we can not wait to share the love of Christ through our kind words and actions and bring hope and quench the thirst of dry souls! Friends, God is also alive in the states and people are just as thirsty for the savior.

The question is, do we care enough to share the greatest thing we know?

We are excited to stretch ourselves and learn new things with the Egyptian culture!

More to come on our fundraising, group pics, and more exciting news!

With love from my apartment,

Paige

Finals are a comin'!

Hello Family & Friends!

Thought I'd check in and say hello with you all and give another update!

Sickness: This last week I have been sick and after two doctor's visits I think I'm better!! Basically the sickness needed to pass, which it is still doing, and I got some meds for some stomach issues I have had this year.

School: Almost done! After tonight's presentation, this week's work is pretty much done and it will all turn into studying for finals/writing papers for finals week.

And when am I supposed to do Christmas shopping!?

Life is good though. God is still God. I'm still kickin'. Being blessed in many ways. Can't WAIT to be home!!! (If you haven't been able to tell) :)

With love from my LAST Church History class E.V.E.R!

There IS justice in this world! ;)

Dear Blog Readers,

I am going crazy. Not actually, so no one worry. But this semester is sooooo over in my mind and I still have to gear up for big papers and finals to come.

I don't know how that will happen. I am ready for December 19th- Disneyland with Barbie! I'm ready for Christmas shopping and Denver convention and New Years Eve... I'm ready to see those babies! They're growing up and are the cutest things in the world! I want to give them kisses and sneak them candy and be a fun auntie!

Chet ready for some Nebraska football!!!

I guess it will come soon enough. 2 weeks. :)

Even though I'm kinda going crazy- I still had the greatest and most relaxing Thanksgiving with the Aarons!!!! We went to the Mojave desert and camped out in their motor home! So. much. fun! Mrs. Aaron treated us to the most delicious food and Traci supplied great desserts! Jeremy taught me how to ride a quad and I got to go on a few group rides once I got the hang of it! Here are a few pics from our time:

The kids:

Gooooooood morning!

Everyone made fun of my and Jeremy's outfits. In our defense, we weren't expecting a picture to be taken.

Our quad/motorcycle ride! I'm on the far left with Jeremy standing next to me. So fun!
