A Quick Update...
Well, I feel quite rushed in making this post. I have a lot to do at work, am leaving early (worked late yesterday), going to work on a computer later this afternoon, and then meeting Susie and Carolyn at my house, dinner at 7:00ish (Chili's), then back to my house where I promised to make Bananas Foster for dessert. I made the ice cream last night, so the rest of that should be easy. Then we have to pack the car to make things easier for tomorrow. A group of 10 of us are driving to Wisconsin for a bike ride.
Anyway, I thought I should give you an update of how things are going for me. 'Whirlwind' is an accurate description. I've sent out most of my support letters. With gifts that have already come in, I'm at just over 1/3 of my total support level. Praise God! After I get back from Wisconsin, I will be working on selling some stuff I have, including one of my bikes.
Here's another neat testimony:
I was trying to book my airline ticket and was getting very discouraged because the prices were ranging from $1150 to $1485. Ugh! I just didn't think it was fair that I should have to pay more because I'm staying longer, but that's what is going on. I called Continental directly, but didn't get anywhere with them. So I called a missions oriented travel service that has a regional office in Newton, KS. I gave her my needs and she called me back about 4 hours later. The price? $809. I booked immediately!!! Unfortunately, I have much longer layovers, but I don't care! I saved a chunk of change!!! Thank you, Jesus!
Well, that's about all for this update. Let me leave you with a picture I took in a remote mountain village where Enlaces is helping. To me, this picture captures both beauty and squalor.
