Both of my shoulders are sore right now from the
immunization shots I received.  I
have two more that I still need to get before I am completely done with
immunizations, however it is good to see things progressing and that the
details are slowly falling into place. 
Besides the immunizations, I still need to sign up for international
health insurance, get some additional pages put into my passport, buy the gear
needed for the trip, and continue raising support.  Hopefully I can get a good chunk of this done in the next
couple of weeks.  Though progress
is slow, I am getting more and more excited for this coming September and can’t
wait to see all of this planning and work actually come together.

In terms of my support raising, I currently have raised 12%
of the total support needed.  Thank
you so much for your donations so far. 
It has been an incredible encouragement to see people partner with me in
this endeavor.  I still have a long
way to go before I reach the $8400 needed prior to leaving in September,
however God is teaching me so much through this and I know I simply need to
trust that He will provide for my needs. 
If you would like to partner with me, please click on the Support Me
button to the left.  I would
greatly appreciate it.  Also, I am
looking for individuals who would be willing to commit to supporting me on a
monthly basis so if you would be interested in helping me out that way, please
let me know or read my previous blog post on way to support me.

Also, my support cards are done! So please be sure to ask me for them if you see me or please send me your address and I would love to send them to you.  My friend Rachel Simonsen designed them for me and I am really excited for how they turned out.
