welcome, friends!

Well, hello. Thanks for checking this out! I hope you feel like a cherished part of my team this year, as I look forward to keeping you updated. I will most likely do weekly updates that will include any stories or pictures that couldn't fit into my monthly prayer letter, as well as a little more detail about the goings-on with Student Venture at Talawanda. Feel free to leave comments or send me a line on how life is for you! And now, for my first post... :)

I can see those brick paved streets and taste that UDF ice cream now... I am so very close to getting back to Oxford! I am currently 17.6% away from reporting. My goal is to be back at full support in the next 11 days -- by the 28th! Would you take a minute and pray for God to continually provide and prepare me to head back to Ohio before the 28th? Thank you!

If you know someone who would be interested in hearing about this incredible high school ministry, I'd love to share with them. Feel free to e-mail me at emily.saviello@studentventure.com, and I can contact anyone who is interested.

In the meantime, check back in the next week and a half to see my progress... I hope and pray to be updating you from Oxford in a matter of days!

Thank you, each of you, for your special role on my team. I refer to you all as my "All-Star team" because you are all so dear to me! Thanks for caring about the souls of the precious students of Talawanda High School.

Have a wonderful day!
