…not in my arm!!! Today was “Vaccination Day”, where I received a lovely round of tetnus/typhoid/yellow fever/hep A shots, and have yet to feel any of the side effects, with the exception of being a little loopier than usual. I marched up to the counter, post-pricking, and proceeded to spill out the contents of a donation jar, gifted to me by some of my closest friends, decorated with quirky,love-filled messages and flags from all 11 countries. Though the receptionist wasn’t as ecstatic as I was about counting quarters, I melted knowing how much I am loved and cared for by so many. The days leading up to the second deadline were a nerve-racking, emotional rollercoaster, filled with words of encouragement, scripture, and a few good slaps in the face to get a hold of myself. God has blessed me with such a great network of family and friends, which have supported me immensely, financially, spiritually and emotionally. If you’re reading this, THANK YOU!!!!
P.S. An update on my fundraising: I currently have a bit over $6,400 in my fundraising account, leaving me with only $7,900 to fundraise. I’m almost half-way there!!! Thank you Jesus!! THank you to EVERYONE that supported me!!!!! Soooooo awesome!!! =)
