Greetings!

Hello everyone!
I'm Elaine Cutting and this blog is to keep you, my fair readers, informed on the goings on of my missions trip to Japan! I will be traveling with Campus Crusade for Christ, partnering with CRASH (Christian Relief, Assistance, Support, and Hope). We leave on July 29Th and get back August 18Th. During this time, our small group will be assisting the people there in any way possible, and we'll have lots of chances to share the Gospel along the way! I'm so excited for this amazing opportunity! I know God has some amazing things planned for this trip and I'm excited to see these plans unfold. For now I'd like to ask everyone for their support in prayer as I begin to prepare for this insane trip! I only have a month, but I believe God will help me to be prepared, not only physically but spiritually and mentally as well in this short time.

As to what's been going on, I am happy to say I got my sponsor letters out in the mail today! It's come at such short notice, sorry! You can expect to see them sometime soon! (Unless they got lost in the mail... if they did :( I'm sorry.) I also think my tongue is still numb from sealing all those letters!! But it's for a good cause yes?

I can't believe I have less than a month until I fly out to Japan! I am so eager and excited to see how God is going to work through this trip! Okay, and I'll be the first to admit, right now I'm a little frightened as well! But like I said before, I know God is there to support and guide me. Well bye for now! I'll make sure to keep you all posted!
