So yesterday was the week mark! I'm leaving for Africa less than a week from now! I'm so excited! I have all the money I need for the trip, tomorrow I get paid and am going shopping for all the necessities, and I'll be grateful for the time that we're on the plane on our way down there. I can't wait to journal everything. I am kinda bummed that I won't have a computer, I type much faster then I write and my fingers get lessed cramped. :) hehe Oh well.
The dinner went amazingly! There was no major issues, it went smoothly and we raise $3,400 profit as money to seperate for the trip! I get almost $800 from our fundraisers ALONE! :) That's awesome! I have pictures but of course I can't post them yet. I will when I get a chance. I plan on getting that stuff done over the weekend... We'll see. ;)
So I am all excited about going to Africa but a big part of me is still in denial that it's actually going to take place. My mind can't comprehend it because I've never been out of the country. I have no idea what to expect. But God is truly amazing. So much has taken place in regards to the team. Just last night the last person in the team to get filled with the Holy Spirit spoke it last night! So now we've had 4 of the 9 get spirit filled within the last couple weeks! God is awesome! It's exciting because it means to me that God is at work. I know my heart towards God and what He wants for my life isn't where it should be. I'm still kind of living my life for myself. I know that. He knows that. But I'm still being blessed. I am excited to see what God is going to do in my life. Will this be a life change? Will this be a turning point? I already feel that God has changed my heart a lot since I was obedient to His call to go to Lesotho. But I know there could be so much more!
Sam might be getting a Saturn ION Quad Coupe (
http://www.saturn.com/saturn/showroom/ion/quad/) in electric blue. I think its a cute car... He was thinking about getting a PT Cruiser and for some reason I very much so didn't like that idea but kept my mouth shut because I knew he liked it. Turns out ya never want to go to Chrysler dealerships EVER! Seeing the difference in how Chrysler and Saturn treat their customers I'm leaning myself on Saturns but I haven't ever really liked the cars. But Sam swears by his 97 Saturn. It's been a good car to him. So I'm glad he will be getting his new car. I can't wait to see it in person. Now mind you it's not his yet. There could still be issues but I doubt it would be anything like the issues Chrysler had with the PT Cruiser he wanted.
Well I should get going. I'm needing to get to work.
Bye (P.S. I'll post pics of the dinner as soon as possible!)
