Hi All!
This is kind of a different blog post but I hope you enjoy it and please SHARE it! Thank you so much for everyone’s prayers and financial support, it would not be possible without your help and God’s will!
As of right now, I am a little over half way funded with 8,924 dollars! Thank you all for being a part of that, its hard not to cry looking at how much progress that God has provided in only three months. I leave for training camp next week on Thursday and I leave in a month in a half for South Africa.
Some other updates! If you have not heard yet, my route has been changed. This was due to the fact that not enough people were on my route to make it safe or cost effective to go. They spilt up our group and placed us in other routes. I am now apart of U squad which is going to (in order) South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. I will still be doing the same type of missions work in those countries that I was previously but as you can see that Nepal is on the list. I will be in Nepal in November (my birthday month) doing earthquake recovery as another one hit Nepal last night/earlier morning.
If you guys ordered a tshirt! I have placed the order last week on Monday so the shirts should be done and mailed to me anytime now! I will contact you guys when they are in and deliver them to you! Unless you live in Alabama, then I will mail them to you 🙂
