home

Dear Patrick,

I'm finally home and am already missing Cuba. I miss our hostel, the culture, the music, the streets, the beach, and of course the people. I miss our translator, Yoanka, the most. She's been with us since the first day, and we've really grown to love her.
This trip has been really amazing. I don't even know where to start. Ministering to the kids and youth has really been the highlight of this trip, and just being able to share the love of God with them. I was really encouraged by how passionate the Cubans were for God, and it's been a really great experience. One day, I'd really like to go back, to relive the memories, and to visit the people again in the future. I don't think it's possible for me to have had a better team. I love every single person, and they really made the trip what it was.
My birthday in Cuba was so awesome. We had an off day, and went to the beach. First of all, the beach was gorgeous and the weather was amazing. We also went on the katamaran, that was cool. It was also just relaxing to be able to lie on the beach, tan, and do nothing.
There are so many stories and memories that I'll never forget.

Patrick, I hope you had an amazing spring break too.

Love,
Tiffany

pray for teams:

cuba
guatemala
india
israel
namibia
slovakia
south africa
tanzania
thailand
trinidad
uganda
ukraine

it's going to be an amazing experience! I'm gonna miss all my friends<3

"We must go
Live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go

Stepping forward
Keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go"

my vandalized agenda=) daydreaming

my agenda. Just goes to show what a crazed fan I am. Doodling about pc, as well as lectures from teachers really are a good match=P

almost 17... and going forward

Something amazing is happening, and I can't wait to tell my friends, because I know they'll share in my joy too.
You know when you have those big wild dreams, the ones you believe in, but just have a little doubt about? It's amazing when it actually happens, and I love that feeling when I'm caught off guard by something special.
So, I'm turning 17 in a couple of days, and I'm so excited to go through the different stages of life. I hope it goes fast enough for me to experience and discover new things quickly, but slow enough that I can enjoy and cherish the memories for a while.

Patrick, sometimes, you may speed through life because it's so exciting and new, but if you slow down, you'll notice that there are things you have missed. I learned that it's not too late to go back and treasure the things you've taken for granted.

excited for what's ahead

The reason why I created this blog is because I want to encourage people. It can get tough sometimes, but just have faith, and you'll get through storms.
I'm going on outreach in 6 days to Cuba, with 13 other awesome members of my team. I can't wait, because I know God will do wonders. We're going to be staying in Havana for 2 weeks, and we'll be doing kids' ministry, as well as visiting churches and just hanging out with youth there. This is a once in a life-time experience. Our team motto: work hard, play hard. I'm down with that=)
I'm super excited, and I'll definitely be praying for Patrick too when he's in LA for nationals!
Good luck pc. You can do it. I know you can.
