Coming Soon...

I know I promised a support raising letter and it is coming but not yet, seriously its on my seriously long to do list. What else is on my to do list I know your wondering (probably not, but I feel like telling you), well I have to do two large assignments worth large portions of my grades and work and the very most exciting part, I get to do my First Aid Training this weekend. That's right I will be certified CPR level A and Standard First Aid, I have missed this type of training since graduating High School and I look forward to learning new things.
Anyways since I am on here writing a completely pointless blog I will give you a grand total of how much I need to raise by June of this year....ready.....$2187.5 and hopefully an extra $1400 so that I don't have to pay for all of my own flights to Georgia this year. So in total that would be $3587.5, I believe that both of those numbers are totally accomplish able especially because I have the Lord on my side. So keep praying for me and my fundraising fears.
Anyways I really need to stop avoiding my homework and get some of that done, but I will be back soon with the much anticipated fundraising letter.
Bye!

Oh P.S. Happy Valentines Day, I hope your Day is filled with Love because the Father Love you!!!

KENYA!!!


Thats right its official I am going to Kenya, I received this news with mixed emotions. On one hand I am so excited to be heading back to Africa, on the other hand I have never ever really desired to go to Kenya. To be honest if asked I would probably admit I would rather go to any other country in Africa before Kenya. But I have always known that the Lord would send me there so I guess now is the time, I will trust the Lord and start preparing.
I really am excited to be going to Kenya, I have been saying for years now that I wanted to explore more of Africa and I have had tons of people tell me how amazing Kenya is so now I will get to see that for myself in a few short months. So if you have been there I would love to hear your stories and gather any advise you can give me.
Now that I have been placed on a team, I must start the most dreaded part of being a missionary. The Fundraising. Seriously I have been having nightmares about this for months, but thanks to a wonderful friend I am ready to face this challenge and trust God. I still have to figure the exact cost of the trip so I will get back to you but, please start praying for me. No matter the dollar amount my pride will have to go out the window and I will need to just trust the Lord, which isn't always easy when it involves money. Also please start praying for the upcoming trip, that God would use me as a positive leader in the lives of the participants, that the participants would be ready to have God rock their worlds, etc.
So please stay tuned I will post a support letter online in the next coming week, so if the Lord leads you to donate (which I will be praying he does) then email me or comment and I will give you the information you will need to that.
So have a good week, and I will talk to you all later.
Bye!
