Today was the first time since the week my parents told us about the divorce that i cried about it. i hate not knowing why and my dad saying its none of our business when it is. my dad said that yesterday and it really upset me. He said if i asked him and if i asked my mom why it would be two different answers but i'd rather hear both sides than not know anything of why. its been a tough last few days, and i'm ready for this all to be over with. I hope this texting thing works.

I was talking to a friend last night, and I got reminded of something from when I was around 8 years old, that I really wanted to share with you guys that is totally a God thing.
When I was 8 we had a bunch of missionaries come to my church telling us about their missions, and all of that good stuff. I accepted Christ when I was 7, and I thought it was so cool that I was meeting people that went out and shared the Gospel with people all around the world. That week or weekend or however long it was that they were there, I talked to one couple, I dont have any idea who they are anymore, but I do remember one thing. I remember telling them "I want to be a missionary. I think thats what God wants me to do" and I forgot about that before last night. I was telling my friend about how I felt like what God wants me to do is missions, and that is why I am going on these summer trips. And he told me "but then you dont get to see any of your friends that live out of town" and I was just like "thats very true, but this is what I am going to be doing the rest of my life, and I want to get better at it every chance I get." and then I went on and told him about that story of when i was 8. He was like "wow thats awesome. I'm glad that you're following God's will. I'm just sad I wont get to see you this summer."
It is SO tough leaving for a whole summer, and not being able to visit my out of town friends, that I normally dont get to visit because of us being in school. But I also know that God has a plan for everything, and that I shouldnt go against his will.
One of the places I applied for this summer is Silverthorne Colorado it's about an hour and a half west of Denver, and I just recently found out, that one of my really good friends from last summer who was on my team, applied for the same place. I'm so excited to see if we get put together. If we do, I'm going to be wowed by God, and am going to be so happy! Also, my really good friend/mentor/brother (not really brother, but I consider him family), Jeff, is going to be spending his summer in Colorado. SO I might get to see him when I otherwise wouldnt. I'm so excited to see where God takes me this summer, and where he takes me in life! I'm hoping one day to go back to San Diego, and anywhere else in the US that I feel needs help. I have such a huge love for San Diego and the people there because they do need Christ so badly! It's a beautiful city with beaches, mountians, city, and the desert. I was so blessed to be there for two months last summer, and cannot wait to get back!
Thats what God has been revealing to me lately, I have a lot more to say, but I have to get going. We have a showing at 5:30 and I need to clean my room.
With much love, and in christ,
Hannah
