Oh my goodness, I am astonished with the amount of support mom and I have recieved! So far we have sent out letters,asking for prayer and financial support, if possible, and we have almost payed for both of our tickets that way! I'm so encouraged. I find myself checking the mail 3 and 4 times a day to see if we have a letter or a check! We have $500 to go and we will have both of our tickets paid for! $500 is nothing,yesterday in the mail we recieved $560 and today we recieved over $200 in the mail and a phone call promising another $500!! I love getting letter too,talking about how people are going to be praying for me! It's so cool to think the 8 days I'm going to be gone there are going to be over 100 people praying for ME! It's so amazing how God works.I know it's going to be cake raising the rest of the money.
Dad was talking to me today about my trip. He told me he was so proud of me,and couldn't get over the fact that his 16 year old daughter was going to make an eternal difference in peoples lives.He asked if I had thought about that at all,and I actually have. So much that I have realized not only am I making an eternal impact on the Hatians lives,but also all of the people who have supported me both financially and spiritually,God is going to bless them and that's going to make a differnece eternally for them! Of course it's not me making the impact it's Christ,and I'm nothing but His "messenger" in a sense. That thought is totally amazing. I love my Christ so much and I can't wait to be in Haiti serving Him only 5 weeks from today! whoo!
On a side note,Barack Obama is our new president,as much as that scares me right now I understand God is in control and He can even use Barack Obama.As crazy as that sounds.=)
