Summer Prayer Request Update

Remember how one of my summer prayer requests was for raising support for Africa?

Well, I can't remember if I told anyone yet but, I was 100% supported. I actually had money left over in my account! Yay! God is good and I wanted to share his goodness with you all :)


Miss you all, and so excited to see you soon!

Stamps

I have now filled up two whole pages of my passport! Wohoo! The visa for Kenya is a full page...


Also, I woke up at 5am to the Muslim call to prayer...that was fun

Anyway, I'm doing well - just trying to adjust to the time change. Out of the 27 hours of flight time, I only slept for 4 hours...so I'm beat. But I did watch several movies...I shed a tear for Marley & Me, enjoyed 17 Again (Meg, it would have been an infinitely better choice than Ghosts...), finally saw Slumdog, started Madagascar 2 to get in the Africa mindset...haha

Tomorrow we are going on a city tour, so I'm pretty excited for that. Kenyans are pretty nice and so proud of their country. We met with a pastor yesterday and he and his wife showed us around and gave us some good pointers on how to avoid getting taken advantage of, which is great!

Anyway, I hope you are all doing well!

Fundraising Update

So today at church, my college pastor asked me to share a little about my Africa trip. I did - I was strangely nervous - but it went well. Afterward, one of the volunteer staff came up to me and handed me $250 cash!! Another student gave me $20 out of his pocket! I was blown away by their generosity and willingness to give right away :)

So currently I have about $1,800 - I need to get to $5,000 but June 24th. Please pray that God will continue to provide.

I just wanted to give you an update on how my fundraising is going and share how God is providing!

All praise be to God!
