Trip Update!

My team has decided to visit machu picchu at the end of our trip!!! I cannot wait! It will be such a great reward to a crazy summer :) It is one of the seven wonders of the world, which are all on my bucket list, so I am extra excited :)

While this is going to be an amazing, once in a life time experience, it will also be adding about $300 to our total trip cost. Which is a lot cheaper than a whole new plane ticket for another trip :)

Please continue to pray for funds to come in. 

We wil also be leaving on August 1st, which will be the day after I return from working at Campo Pondo, hich is going to be crazy!!

We will be having a rummage sale at the church the first weekend of June. If you can donate or serve alongside me during the sale it would be greatly appriciated! Let me know! :)

Yardsale #2

Yardsale!!! Saturday's yardsale was not nearly as successful as last weeks yardsale. It was a bit discouraging to not make as much. Throughout this entire process of my missions trip I have been learning the importance and fully relying on God. Money is something that usually stresses me out and I have seen it stressing me out during this process too. I am about a third of the way funded and I and supposed to be 75% funded at this point. As you can imagine, I am very stressed out right now, especially since I just signed a contract which commits me finacially to the trip regardless if I can go or not. 

Phillipians 4:19 says, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus". This verse is a continual reminder for me throughout this process that God will always provide. It is very difficult for me to fully relinquish control, especially in this kind of situation. Now I now this verse does not mean that I can sit back and just wait for God to appear, but that I need to do my part and God will help me. 

Please pray for me throughout the remainder of this process. Pray for funds to continually flow in, (thank you to all who have donated so far!), above all pray for my heart to continue to be shaped in a way that is more like Christ so I can show the people of Tacna Peru his love more deeply.

Yardsale #1/4

My sister and I are both fundraising to go on missions trips this summer. I have been collecting donations for the past month, which really paid off, quite literally too. This past Saturday Krista and I raised about $450!!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped out by either donating things or time. We are doing another yardsale this week, so keep praying that the funds will pour in! God is good!!!

Passport Update!

Praise the Lord! I finally got my passport in with plenty of time to spare!
