My trip to PA

My trip to PA started on the 20th of June at 4:30 in the morning. My great friend Erica was able to pick me up and take me to the airport. As most of you could tell on my twitter account, the plane was just fine. Going through security was fun, not being strip searched was a blast :) as well as all my flights leaving on time!! I flew from LAX to Dulles (DC, for all you non travel type of people) and then to Harrisburg were I will remain.

After landing at around 6:00 I had to wait for a fair amount of time for my baggage, that was not fun. I mean come on, the plane was only 60 people, how long does it really take? Anyways....Mike Holland (my host family) was able to pick me up and take me to his house. There I ate pizza, hung out, and even went into the spa.

The night was just beginning tho. I then meet the family.......Alex: He is a cool guy, although I only have known him for about 2 hours, I feel that we are going to be good friends this summer. He is a strong man of God and he will be a good guy for me......Tori: The youngest girl in the family, she is also a cool one. Being offered a hug when I first saw her she was very warm. She is a student at the College along with her brother Alex.........Sarah: Finally the oldest. Sarah and I have meet before and it was a lot of fun seeing her once again. I'm sad she will be gone for parts of this summer however the times will be a blast.

After meeting the family and some friends it was time to chat. We talked about many things and then we did something so cool....we went to go catch flyer flies!!! I have never seen them before however we caught 3 of them. I put them in a jar and was able to make them light. Alex attempted to kill one and put it on his skin so it would light, it worked! Crazy, his skin was all light.

Well that is my first of many blogs here on my journey. Be praying that God will start using me in mighty ways. I can not wait until Monday to start my work here.

Please Pray for: Chris, Mike, The Hollands, and the Spanish Church.

-Peace, Pat
