About a month ago some friends of mine from my church decided they wanted to throw a fundraiser for my trip to Africa! I knew it was going to be fun but I had no idea that it was going to be as fun as it was!! I had an absolute blast!! It was so great hanging out with friends and I just could not stop praising the Lord for putting these people in my life!! Not only are they incredibly generous with all their resources but they are all amazing emotional, and spiritual supports in all I do!! I am so thankful for the people God has put in my life!
My friends sacrificially provided a way for others to help support my trip...it truley was the gift that kept on giving!!
There was jewelery sales, make-up sales and waxing:) My mom and I made some African dishes I found online that was a huge hit!!
Seriously, though, it was way too much fun to be any kind of fundraiser!! Thank you everyone for being so generous and loving toward me!
Here are some pics of the fun event. Sorry some of the pictures are sideways...work with me...:
So, last but not least, i wanted to let you all know that I recieved my departure date!! I am going to be leaving Bend JULY 10!! I know, it is crazy and just around the corner!! I will fill you all in more later, but I wanted to give you that update. I will only you give you guys a nugget at a time because I could be on this thing all night!!
