I am SO excited to share with you all that I have hit my goal of $5000 in order to make my FIRST payment toward my World Race!! So many generous donations came in over the weekend (takes a few days to show up on my blog) that brought me just over that original goal, which means I can officially go on this AMAZING mission trip!! I still have a lot of fundraising ahead of me, as I’m only a little less than 1/3 of the way to the grand total, but I have made so much progress in just the first few weeks, and I cannot thank you all enough because it is only due to your incredible generosity. I am so blessed by each one of you!!! Thanks for the continued encouragement and prayers…there’s still a long road ahead! Many updates to come 🙂
