Update

Another exciting update! Our plane tickets only ended up costing $680! So our trip total is only going to be $1180, so I am VERY close to reaching my fundraising goal. I'm getting more and more excited as the date approaches.

I found out we'll have a few layovers in Rome and Paris! That's very exciting news as well. On the way home we get to stop in Amsterdam as well. The trip keeps getting more and more exciting. My group is starting to meet each other via emails and Facebook, so it's really great to meet who I'll be serving with!

That's all for now! 

Blessings!

Good News!

So the other day I received an email from Scott who is leading our mission trip. He told us that he found airline tickets for $800 round trip instead of $1500! For those of you who don't like math, that means that the entire trip will only cost me $1300 instead of $2000! That's an extra $700! I am feeling unbelievably blessed by this good fortune. I found this bible verse that describes how I felt:

 "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:19 NIV

I am so glad that we were able to get a better price. I'm especially happy since my friend who is going with me was really struggling to raise enough money. I hope now that we will all be able to take this trip and have a great time spreading the word of God. 

New Year Update

Hey everyone!

Now that things have started to slow down a little bit, the donations have started to come in. I recently received two checks from my family members which were both extremely helpful! It's all coming to reality now because it's getting so close! My friend and I have been looking up some bible verses and stories to tell the kids. It's so exciting!

I'll keep you posted!
