Blessed

Greetings, everyone! About  three weeks ago I sent out some fundraising letters, and now donations are slowly starting to appear in my mail box. Today I was especially blessed when, after a long day at my dance recital and many hours spent on sore feet, I received another incredible gift. Thank you to ALL of you who have donated and/or prayed for me so far. I have reached the thousand dollar mark thanks to your loving generosity. I pray that God will bless you in return for how much you've blessed me.

To Get There

So, I took the first baby steps on my journey to Ethiopia yesterday as I waded through the puddles in my street with my fund raising letters, over to the mail boxes and sent up one quick prayer before I dropped them into the abyss of the outgoing mail bin. Here we go. The entire trip has now been set into motion. I don't have any other news to share right now other than if you're logging on and reading this blog for the first time, thank you and welcome!

Change of topic.

While it is certainly true that I have many funny and adventurous stories worthy of writing down here, Ethiopia is definitely my biggest and most important adventure. So, for the next four-ish months this here blog will be primarily about that. I hope this is ok with everyone, and I hope you'll be patient, keep reading, and possibly even enjoy it. Peace.
