The link goes to my Shutterfly account and to the picture of S-Squad! They will be my family for the next 11 months starting in October.
 
   In light of all of this, my launch date is October 2, 2010 at 9:30 PM from LAX in California! And yes, this is TWO days before my birthday of October 4th, which means that this year for my birthday I get to spend it in Guatemala with my new family, S-SQUAD!!!
 
   So, if you would love to make my birthday amazing this year, then I ask that you do one of two things:
  1. Support my trip by sending a check of any amount ($.01, $1.00, $10.00, $33.00, $1,000…whatever He places on your heart to give) to Adventures in Missions PO Box 534470 Atlanta, GA 30353-4470 with my name in the memo section of the check or by going to the ‘Support Me!’ tab on the left-side of this blog.
  2. Or help me get the rest of my supplies and equipment for this journey by sending me money, check or what I need to 29030 Godwin Rd. Eustis, FL 32736.
                     A list of what I still need and places to possibly get them:
  •                         Very important: 2-person, free-standing tent with good ventilation, a rainfly, footprint, and is only about 4lbs. in weight. Possibilities:

                                               http://www.rei.com/product/747994
 
                     Laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Seashell-1005PE-PU17-BK-10-1-Inch-Netbook-Battery/dp/B00322PYZO   if it can be found somewhere else for less, then awesome and with case to carry it in…
 
                      Airporter: http://www.rei.com/product/728446
 
                   These three are very very important!
                     All other things: small pillow, sleeping bag liner, good pair of sandals (thinking of crocs, they don’t carry smells like other sandals), flip flops, exofficio boxer briefs, lightweight clothing (a few more shorts/pants, shirts, sweatshirt of synthetic fibers), head covering, packing cubes and such can be located at http://www.rei.com/outlet or http://www.magellans.com/ or http://cabelas.com/home.jsp?_requestid=65227

 
I’d like a Zune too but that’s not too terribly important, I just have a lot of music and music not from iTunes… http://www.zune.net/en-US/
 
            I am asking all of you and whomever may read this to help make my 25th year one to remember. Please, I don’t need expensive things or things I won’t use, just things that will benefit me over the next 11 months. I will forever thank you and those who help will definitely get shout-outs on my blogs for the next year from all over the world!
 
         So how about it? Are you willing to give up a subway for a week or month to help me? Or maybe starbucks for a few days to help send me on this journey God has called me to?? We all spend money on items we don’t necessarily need throughout this life in America and so I’m asking you to take a stand and not spend that money on those items, but put it to good use and help me go on this quest?? Could you take this challenge for a day, two days, a week, maybe even a month to help me?? Please?
 
   Thank you all for reading and considering helping me! I really appreciate it! Again, click on the ‘Support Me!’ tab on the left-hand side to give online. All donations are tax-deductible.
 
   Leave comments for prayers and I’ll be praying for you. Thanks!
