Thanks for checking out my blog.
I am SO excited about this year and I can't wait to take you along with me!
I leave for St. Louis sometime in May, and then I'll pop back home for a quick visit at the end of July before I begin my big adventure in Thailand!
Please keep me in your prayers. I need them so much. Truth be told, the farthest from this country I've ever been is Canada. As in Niagara Falls. As in I could still see New York. So 5 months in a foreign country will be exciting and super crazy.
I also need to raise $8,000 by the time I leave. You can help in so many different ways.
- Until May, I will be offering photography sessions in the Colorado Springs area for a suggested donation of $75 [you can check out my facebook page [here] for more info if you want].
- My good friend Jami is now selling adorable elephant mason jars on Etsy! All proceeds go towards my trip. [You can find it [here]]
- I will be opening an Etsy store to sell prayer bracelets and some other crafty things to raise money (right [here].)
- After prayerfully considering, you can donate directly! Just mail your checks to
Mission
to the World
PO
Box 116284
Atlanta,
Georgia 30368-6284
Make
sure they are payable to Mission to the World and include my MTW ministry
account number (14689) in the memo line.
Turns out you can also donate online [HERE]. Again, make sure you put my MTW ministry account number (14689) as the destination! (Please note: you may have to create an account in order to donate online.)
Anyways, you can expect occasional blog posts up until my departure, and then LOTS of updates, pictures, and stories once I start this crazy adventure!
I love you all so very much and thank you for joining me in this!
Don't forget to bask in the Sonshine (please note the clever play on words) today :)
