With all that our missions group has been doing to get ready, this missions trip is now starting to seem real to me. All 10 of us going on the trip have our passports, our first $1,000.00, and now finally.... our plane tickets!!!! It's so exciting :)
As I said, we have all raised our half of the money needed, so now we are busy raising our money as a group. We are currently working on making a church cookbook. It's been great, we've gotten a ton of recipes (put in hours of typing) and I'm looking forward to getting it finished :) I'm having a hard time believing the trip in in 5 months. It seems like a long time away so it's hard to be patient, but then thinking about all we have to do to get ready and the money still needing to be raised, I'm afraid it's going to come too fast. But I know it will all work out, the Lord is definitely leading this whole thing, and we will have time to do everything He wants us to. That's a relief ;)
And again I have to say how wonderful God is! He listens, answers, directs, provides and teaches me faith. How wonderful it is to serve an amazing God!!
Well there, that's my update. Sorry it's taken me so long to let you know what's going on. It's been busy. If you want to know more, e-mail me! I'll try and do better about updating though :)
Have a blessed day,
Rachel
