As of this morning, I have raised $1455. That's almost enough to pay for my plane ticket! I'm going to dip into my savings to pay for the airfare. I have also used my summer wages to pay for supplies, my visa, my passport, and immunizations. I didn't realize how expensive a year of travel would be! I'm praying that more money comes in. I have to support myself financially while I'm abroad, as well as pay for insurance through the General Conference. Those two things will come to close to $2000 (in addition to the $2000 airfare). Please pray for my travel plans!
Speaking of the General Conference, my call was passed on Wednesday!!! After months of waiting and frantically sending e-mails to dozens of people I've never met, I am finally approved to go as a student missionary sponsored by the Adventist church! YES! This is truly an answer to prayer...and a much-anticipated and much-worked-for accomplishment!
Thank you to everyone for your support! I truly appreciate every dollar you've given, every prayer you've sent up, and the thoughtful cards and letters I've received. I'm very, VERY excited to be in Africa at Cradle of Love Baby Home! (www.cradleoflove.com)
