I just want you to know that I hate this. One of the things that would have kept me from doing the world race completely would have been fundraising. I do not like asking people for money. But that’s just what I’ve been told to do. Ask.
I want to let each of you know- my friends, my family, my supporters, I am about 3,600 dollars away from being fully funded! We are SO CLOSE!
As I sit here in India I want to tell you that leaving Africa was no small thing for my heart. I love Lesotho. I love everything about the people, the culture, and the food. I have absolutely loved waking up to beautiful mountains every morning, and eating dinner in the light of the sunset that turned the mountains in front of me purple. I loved our host family and how well they loved us. I loved oatmeal every morning and hiking an hour just to spend time with people. It was all too good. Leaving it took a chunk of my heart and a whole lot of tears.
I bought a couple kurtas and some baggy pants and I am so thrilled for this chapter of the race. This will be my home for the next two months. I will also be living with three other teams so life will be anything but boring while I am here.
Everyone in India is mainly vegetarian so my stomach has been loving the food!
Also, chai tea. Heaven in a teeny tiny cup. The ladies that work here bring us coffee twice a day, and chai in the afternoon! So much love.
The first few days I spent in Hyderabad and that looked like some training to prepare us for our ministry days and involved a bit of a history lesson too just so we can understand the culture better. It’s a totally different ball game than Africa.
It’s been really difficult these past few months because I haven’t had any wifi to connect with anyone or really reach out to people. It’s hard. But I am hopeful that you will hear my heart and my deepest desire to continue waking out what I believe the Lord has for me on the world race. And that you will see the things that the Lord is doing here.
If you can’t support me financially I ask that you would continue to pray for my time in India. If you know of anyone that could support me have them reach out to me!!
My final deadline is at the end of December.
December 29th.
If 100 people donated 36 dollars I would be fully funded! If every single person that read my last blog donated 7 dollars I would be fully funded!
You all have been too good to me. Words will never be able to express my thankfulness for supporting me thus far!
You guys rock my world.
Please reach out to me with any questions, comments, or happy things.
Love always,
Emma
