Going to Spain next fall probably! And a Spring Break Mission Trip

I'm on my wayyy

Dear Family and Friends,

I turned in my ^course equivalency sheet^ for studying abroad in Spain next fall. I will still get to take 2 business classes class that will count toward my major too. I'm also taking a Spanish civilization and a literature course. Lastly, I'm taking a required history course. I think the civilization and history course will be really cool while I'm there. I would have taken them here at Baylor, but now I'll get to be around the landmarks and such. I still have lots to do before I'm officially going, but I'm very early in applying. I would be staying with a "host mother" who is required to simply cook a dinner for us each night...I would also have 3 roommates. Anywho, I'm excited about it yet still knowing I'm gonna miss all of you and Becca and friends and Young Life here for a little while. Maybe a visit could happen. That would be cool. The dates are August 29 to December 22 of this year. 

New and current guys YL leaders hang out...PS3 and N64 at the same time...oh yeah

And this spring break, I'm going on a mission trip to Edinburg, TX. It's through my church, Antioch Community Church, and it's the whole college ministry going. So about 600 of us will be going. We're going to spread the gospel of Jesus through  dancing, dramas, and individual evangelism. All of it is going to be in a large public area like a park and the dancing will sort of draw in a crowd. Then the dramas are like the main show. They'll be silent though so everyone can understand the message. They will help everyone, English and Spanish speakers, understand God's love for us and really tell the whole story of humanity and Jesus and redemption. I'm not sure what that will look like. Then there's also a group that will be attending to and playing with kids that show up. And (this is what I'm doing), the evangelism team will be pursuing people, believing that God moves in people's hearts. I hope to see some saved.
So yesterday, Saturday, we had a Training Day for the trip at the church. Great leadership on every level...small groups to big groups to each of the 4 teams of what we'll be doing, to the organizers of the trip. I'll be going with about 10 people I know including Jon^ and my roommate Kevin. We're praying for big things to happen in the lives there and in our own. We're excited. Any questions or concerns, I'd love to talk about it with you.

I've still been cooking too! Yummy croissants with breakfast sausage...soooo good. Oh and I found a guy that I'm basically going to sponsor to go to YL camp with the money I've been saving by cooking. In return for his time at Campaigners (YL bible study) and appreciation, he'll come to that and experience the things that really changed my life and go to camp.

Love you all,
Andrew


P.S.-Any ideas of what you would like me to talk about?...make one up and tell me.
