in just a few hours...

I am so excited to go serve, learn and quench the hearts of the people with the love of our great Father. I only have email as a way to keep in contact once a week. Pretty much no phone time as well so the internet will be the means for spreading word on how you can talk to Father on the teams behalf.

WELL! On the finances, my amazing team leader gave me $250. I am so amazed by the generosity of this person! They have a family and he works as a pastor and professor at CBU an I know they aren't rolling in dough. Just $500 left.

But in the mean time, here is a picture of Matt and I indoor sky diving. He is so kind/thoughtful and I know this was nerve-racking for him. He is afraid of heights and I love the thril. poor guy. He even enjoyed it so everyone should try it ; -}

I have faith


Well, I am about amazed and in need. I don't know if that is a bad thing to say, so I will write the math out for you:

cost to study abroad to a country in central asia
where 99.6% of the population is muslim: $2900 (not including $1900 tuition)

50 support letters= $600
working a job= $500
My church back home $750
My mom and dad $350
My sister robbed a bank $350 but not really. she got some settlement money from a car accident in high school
total $2450

He has provided in so many ways and I have faith that the rest will come in some how.
I love the Father
