Kelsey Berglund - Not Hesitating

Last year when we went to New Orleans I was very nervous and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to take the heat and all the work. However, while we were there God proved me wrong. I became used to the heat and I became determined to do the work because of the people it was helping and because I knew we were doing what God wanted us to do. So to me serving down there became an enjoyable experience. I loved seeing the progress we made and seeing the smiles we put on people’s faces. So this year when I found out another group would be heading down I didn’t hesitate to say I’d be a part of that group.

I am so looking forward to going down again and helping more people. I’m so thankful that we’ve been given this opportunity again. Last year I got sick half way through the week and wasn’t able to do as much work as I had hoped to so I am very excited to go to New Orleans again and do even more work than I was able to last time. I’m also very pleased with the team God has given us and I’m looking forward to seeing all that we can accomplish.

I ask that you pray that everyone stays healthy and that our team is able to connect with one another. Also that we will be able to accomplish as much as possible while we’re in New Orleans and that God presents us with some great opportunities.
