Emmie goes to Hollywood, California

My sweet girl left today for a 2 week long mission trip to Hollywood, California. She had to be selected for this opportunity to serve through Project Timothy. There was a whole outline, several forms, along with several written papers of why she wanted to do this. She spent weeks on it. She was thrilled when she was accepted. We were also very proud of the fact that she was doing this trip alone. No friends or any other students from our church were going along with her. It was a bitter sweet morning for me as I watched her go through the security check points with out me behind her. I know that she has arrived safely so for that I am relieved. HOWEVER.....she has been suffering very badly with the migraines again since June. Two days before leaving, her temp was 103.5. ~sigh~ This is the difficult part for me as a Mother. Many of you remember that she passed out last summer at U of M volleyball camp for two hours in the hallway in the middle of the night and her Father and I went to get her the next day. It won't be quite as easy as that this time should something like this happen again. Please keep her in your prayers. We have an appointment with the headache clinic as soon as she returns. Along with having some oral surgery done as well. Right now I am thankful for cell phones and texting! She kept in touch with me all day. I hope she can during her trip as well. She returns home July 22.
