Want more information.


It's been a week since I "kicked off" my fundraising. I loved the response I got from my church. My church seems very excited for my opportunity. I really enjoyed trying to answer questions and talk to friends that have actually visited Guyana! There is still a lot of fundraising I have to do!
Attached are two documents that I have made to just explain a bit more about what I am doing and why!

And so it begins....

Today is the day I am trying to "kick off" my fundraising for my stay in Guyana this coming school year! Somehow finishing brochures, starting Facebook pages, and editing blogs are never as easy as I  imagined. Yesterday, as I was working on designing a Word document I proved to my self, once again, that I am surprisingly computer illiterate! ( I couldn't figure out how to delete a page number) I wanted to have everything done and ready to go yesterday, but it just was not happening. My frustrations kept growing. My wonderful sister noticed and suggested we go for a night run to get out our all our built up stress from this week. It's amazing what some exercise and prayer can do. I went to bed feeling peaceful.
This morning I woke up and realized while I still have a long list of "to do's" if i keep working, I will be able to cross them off eventually! I know God has great plans for me and I must lean on Him!
