End of July News

Okay, here’s the latest and the greatest updates! My fundraising total is officially $1,170! So I’m slowly making my way towards the total…I find myself going through waves of excitment and discouragement when it comes to money. I’m trying my best to have faith that God is going to provide. I’m not sure how…but it will happen. He always comes through.

 I’m now in my last 7 days of my AmeriCorps job here in Washinton. It always amazes me how fast the end comes. I’m packing my bags and boxes and getting ready to put my things in storage since I’m going to be gone for so many months. The packing process actually makes the New Zealand trip seem more real as I’m going through things and deciding what I’ll need for my trip. I can’t wait!

 My next stop before New Zealand is Missoula, Montana for a month. I’m staying with some friends and working at a coffee shop to make some money. It’s my time to see friends, be back in the community of my church and say goodbye before heading off. So friends, if you’re in the area, give me a call and we can hang out!

Thank you everyone for all your prayers! I definately still need them as I continue to fundraise and spiritually prepare for this mission trip. I love you all!!!
