The Road Goes Ever On and On...

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** June 29th, 2011, 8:52 pm

I thought I would let you guys know that, after this week, I probably won't be on HW much at all until summer ends.

...but I do have a good excuse!

On July 9th I'm leaving for my first missions trip of the summer, to an orphanage in Mississippi. Then, on July 26, I'm going to Africa for my second missions trip!

I'm ridiculously excited about both of them, and I'm hoping that I will be able to show God's love to everyone I meet... so please pray for me!

This will be my fifth trip to Palmer Home (the orphanage in Mississippi), so I'm not really nervous about that one, but I am a little nervous about going to Africa. It'll be totally different from anything I'm used to, and I have no idea what to expect. But that actually makes me really excited, too; I can't help but think of it as an adventure.

Anyway... please pray that I won't be selfish in any way while I'm there, and that I'll be willing to serve without complaining. And pray that God will prepare the hearts of the people we'll meet!

I'll miss y'all, and I can't wait to tell you all about it when I get back!

That is wonderful, Princess! However I will miss your presence on the forum. May you continue to shine brightly for the Lord in all that you do, wherever you go.

Bye! God bless you on your trips.

I'm very happy for you, Abby.

*hugs* I'll be praying for you. I'll miss you while you're away, but I can't wait to hear all about it!

Aw, I'll miss you, Abby. But I hope you have fun!

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** July 1st, 2011, 9:14 am

Thanks, Kali *hugs back* I will definitely tell you all about it... you'll probably end up begging me to stop talking about it!

Aw, I'll miss you too, Faith.

Aww, I will miss you and our chats, Abby! I'll be praying for you and hoping you have a great time as you serve God.

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** July 1st, 2011, 11:59 am

Thank you so much, Ells! I'm going to miss our chats while I'm gone, too. I'll make sure I come on between missions trips and chat at least a little bit.

Svensteel Mimetes · **Posted:** July 1st, 2011, 6:45 pm

We will miss you!!!
God bless you for doing all that work! I'll be praying!

-God bless

Thanks, Namor!

Tomorrow I get to go shopping for old jeans and t-shirts at Goodwill. Should be fun... We have to wear everything for a couple days in Africa, since we can't wash our clothes, so I'm not taking anything I plan on wearing later.

Aw, and you just got back recently. Well, have a nice time anyways!

I shall enjoy your presence each time you find a moment to reappear here.

How did I miss this?! :shock:

That sounds great, Abbie. We will miss you

but you are doing a great work for the Lord! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. *Hugs* *Is feeling super excited for Abbie* :dieshappy:

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2011, 8:43 am

*cringes * Did you get your shots yet? Bleck!

So exciting though, on the serious side. Well... I was serious about the shots too, so anyways.

I am praying for the trip, both trips, actually. I want full details, my dear.

I know... I was sad about having to leave again so soon.

But I will have some time in between, at least!

Yep, I got my shots... nasty little things.

Thankfully they didn't make me really sick, though!

And you will most definitely get full details! It could possibly be one of the longest posts on HW... :rofl:

That; I'll be looking out for!

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2011, 3:30 pm

I guess I don't have any choice now... it'll have to be a massive post! :rofl:

Svensteel Mimetes · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2011, 3:34 pm

Yahoo!

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** July 3rd, 2011, 5:55 pm

That would be a very very long post.

Shots! Ick! You poor thing!

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** September 25th, 2011, 8:09 am

So... I realized I never came back and posted about my trip! I don't have time for a monster post (

), but I'll go ahead and attach the letter I sent to everyone who supported me. It doesn't have all the stories, but it does have all my thoughts on the trip!

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** September 25th, 2011, 9:52 am

That is so powerful, Abby. And so sad at the same time. How much food we waste over in England, good food that just gets thrown out, whilst people over there are starving. It's so sad.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I am glad that God used you and the people with you to bless those people.

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** September 25th, 2011, 4:03 pm

You're welcome, Elanor. I'm just thankful God allowed me to go and serve. It definitely impacted the way I think about things!

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** September 25th, 2011, 7:46 pm

That sounds Awesome, Abby! I wish I could have gone with you. Thanks for sharing, and keep serving.

AzlynRose · **Posted:** September 25th, 2011, 11:49 pm

That was powerful, Princess. I'm happy you were able to help.

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** September 26th, 2011, 2:09 pm

Thanks, Airi and Azlyn.

The stories you shared were very powerful, Princess Abby.

PrincessoftheKing · **Posted:** September 27th, 2011, 11:31 am

Thanks, Jon.

I'll have to post some of the less serious stories when I have more time. There were some heartbreaking moments, but we also had a great time with the Liberians.
