Everyone has made it to their destinations for the time being.  My dogs Pucchini and Abner survived their first airline experience.  They had to be drugged to calm their nerves a bit.  Pucchini is going to stay in Chicago with my amazing friends Gaila and Doug.  He is still on North Carolina time, so he wakes up around 5 am.  This is actually a huge answered prayer for me.  About a week before I left NC, all my dog plans got changed , but God knew exactly where everyone was going. Yet again, I see him providing for all my needs.
 
Abner had a bit of a longer flight to Tulsa, OK.  My sister and her fiancee are graciously hosting her till I can find suitable accomodations.  Last but not least, I also made it safe and sound to Claremore, OK.  Just wanted to give everyone a quick update.  My support raising is going well. I am about $1,000 from  the $13,800 I need to be support me monthly.  Not included in this figure is personal money, visa money, vaccinations, gear and travel to and from the race and some unexpected debt that has transpired in the last month or so.   In order to leave free and clear, I need about $5000 more. God has been so faithful throughout this entire process. I can say with confidence I will have what I need when I need it.  
 
 I want to give a huge shout out/ thank you to all the people who are supporting me.  The faith and trust you have placed in God and me is humbling.  To see all of us unifying to serve the Lord in this capacity is incredible.  I am so blessed to know each of you.  Just know that you are such an important part of what God is doing all over the world.  Also, I am excited about partnering with my village to further his Kingdom and show his love.  Words cannot express how much I cherish your love and support.
 
I hope to be in contact with you all before I leave via e-mail and Bon Voyage postcard. The countdown is now at 16 days till we launch from Miami to Palenque, Mexico.  Oh my gosh!! 16 days! If you have a spare minute, please pray that I get all my essentials packed and all my ducks in a row.  I have been working on it for the last month, but it’s a lot of ducks to line up.  Thank you so much.
