Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
Now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are
...
I will tell the world, I will tell them where I've been
I will keep my word
I will tell them Albertine

And the true countdown begins...

How time has flown... 15 days until I leave.  I cannot believe it.  I am so excited to be in Guatemala but am a little overwhelmed with school, work situations, and just life.  Reality has hit.  I will be leaving in just over two weeks and I will be gone for 2.5 months - that is a long time!  But I know I have so much support and that I am not going for me but because God has placed this opportunity to serve and a love in my heart for Guatemala that I cannot deny.  So now, I just have to get through exams, pack, and emotionally, financially, and spiritually prepare for this amazing adventure.  If you could - I would appreciate all the prayer I could get right now as Satan is trying to stop me through discouragement.  Please pray that God will protect me and that I will be able to do what He has in store for me.
Love you all,
Becca
PS. I got Skype (beccahouweling), so if you want to add me I would love to keep in touch with you that way
