The anticipation if this trip is driving me KrayKray! I am really starting to notice the things that make me super annoyed. I love to plan things like road trips, but when it comes to planning a two week outreach with four leaders and five other students, is proving to be a test and I'm not even involved with the majority. Wait it's more or less listening to people plan and argue about how many time we should stop for bathroom breaks or what kind of snacks to bring. Like I'm trying not to stress but when we are at meeting the topic of conversation changes faster than the wind. And I want to say something but then I'll become the awkward one who doesnt really want to joke or have any fun. What ev we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Here I lay in the main hallway of the castle 1:47am just waiting for 4:00am to come so we can leave. I chose to make breakfast for our team in the morning, I don't know why really but I got a GB message about this and I didn't see anyone had replied so I just said i would, because there would be less confusion. I even have food for the team as a work duty during our trip, I don't know what that entails but I'll find out soon enough. Either way I get to pick what we are eating and we will be eating some yummy food; yet the catch is can I find the food I want in Ukraine. I hear things are super cheap there which is good! Yet God has already been providing our needs! We haven't even left the castle and He is taking care of us.

I have stencils, spray paint, paper, pastels, and a giant drawing board in my pile of things to bring. I hope to fill every piece with art and God's message of love. I really want to do portraits of every one I meet. I know the language barrier will be our biggest struggle but art has no barriers. I want to try my version of Help Portrait, just I'll be drawing portraits instead of taking photos. I am really nervous but I know! God! Loves! Me! He will never let go. His love is with me on this journey. Please pray into that truth for me. Ask with the voice God gave you I don't forget this because the instant I lose this I will fall back into my anger and self pity. I will lose all the progress I have made since I've been here. Thank you for your prayers! God does hear you.
