Soo..here goes my first blog! This is my friend, Mary...actually she's the one writing this (and the one who oh so kindly set this up for me). What would I do without her?! Wait, I guess she can't go with me to Latvia...or Mexico ,for that matter. Gonna have to get used to it!

So you're probably wondering the REAL reason I have this blog? Well, like I mentioned earlier, Alyssa is going to Mexico, and Latvia on some mission trips pretty soon, and this is a convenient way for her friends, family, and church family to see and hear all about what she's doing! Please pray for Alyssa now as she plans and makes final decisions concerning these missions. I'm sure she will update you later with more specific information. To all of you "Followers", I thank you! Thank you for your prayer & interest in Alyssa's trips by following her posts! Talk to you all soon! (Ok Alyssa will talk to you soon!) lol =)
