the Journey

hey everyone,
I realize it's been awhile since I last posted. I'm sorry. :) I'm not so great with this "updating" thing. haha. Also I wanted to give everyone I sent letters to a chance to read the first update.

Support for Africa is going SO great!! We've had lots of awesome fundraisers like Bowl-a-thons. That's a really clever idea, especially if you can get a lot of sponsors. We had planned one, but then I was the only one who could go...so they called it off. But I had 30something sponsors and I didn't want to waste the opportunity. So i called one of my friends and we took our younger siblings bowling. :) i made almost $600 from it!! (I'm so glad I decided to go through with it!!)

We also have the concession stand at our local soccer league. That's a lot of fun! And it's a great way to get to know all the people that are going with me! I didn't know any of them at first...well, I knew 5 of the 25 that are going. :P And I've really gotten to know them these past few weeks! they are such an amazing group of people! I know God put them in my life right now for a reason! After moving and leaving my youthgroup, I was actually really lonely, and now i have a ton of friends that I'm super close to!

The only thing I'm really not looking forward to is the shots. :/ I have to get like, 6. ugh.

At our meeting a couple weeks ago we had a guy talk who had been to Uganda before and he was telling us the "Do's" and "don't's" of Africa. And apparently the left hand is the "dirty" hand there. So i've been trying to train myself to eat with my right hand. But I'm not very good...most of the time the food ends up on my lap! haha.

Thanks for reading!

God bless!

and thanks to everyone who's sent me support so far!! It means so much to me!!
thanks for all your prayers also!!

Love in Christ~
