Hello Friends and Family!

Hello friends and family! This is my first time blogging, ever. So bear with me as I try and figure things out!
We will put up our first official blog post about Cambodia soon. We hope to blog at least once a month before we leave for Cambodia. We will keep you updated on how much we've fundraised, what we are doing to prepare for the trip, more information about our trip, etc. When we get to Cambodia, we hope to put up a blog post every week or two to let you know what we are doing!
Thank you so much for all of your support, prayers, and encouragement!

My friend Kait Hall and I went to a break-out session about sex trafficking that was being put on by Rapha House (if you haven't heard of them, you should definitely check out their website: http://www.raphahouse.org/). Rapha House's mission is "to love, rescue, and heal children who have been rescued from trafficking and sexual exploitation." They have a safe house and a half-way house in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. And yes, that is the same city where we will be going this summe...
