Alright, I first want to apologize for yesterday. I was at my grandma's house late last night and wasn't able to update.
Today is the day I leave for my mission trip. Now because my birthday is this Saturday, and I will not be here, you have until the 15th to get your birthday messages to me. I arrive back the 16th. I cannot wait to see you all when I get back but I know I'll have lots of fun and come back changed but still the same me.

Happy birthday to Daithi de Nogla and Elton Caster!

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
– Matthew 24:35 (NIV)
'Think about this: everything that you see around you will pass away, but the promises of God will last forever. When the Assyrians were at the height of their power, it seemed like the Assyrian Empire would never fall—but they were wrong. When the Romans heard these words of Jesus, they probably scoffed—but they were wrong. In the same way, you may feel like you are up against things that will never change. This promise from Jesus says something different. It may take time, but God’s promises are faithful. They will never fail." -Dave Whitehead

The song of the day is The Run And Go by Twenty One Pilots. If you have a song suggestion I will give you a shoutout.

Please pray that I have a safe trip and that my family stays safe while I am gone. I will pray for all of you while I am away. Soar on, Eagle Army!
