Final Approval

It's finally official!

I got my final approval to go to Wales yesterday! After waiting almost 5 months for my application to be processed, I was starting to wonder when it was ever going to get done!... God's timing is perfect though.

I'll be going in January 2012 serving with Bryan and Misty Elliott through the Assemblies of God Church... When I first applied to go, back in September, I was hearing numbers like $4,000 or $3,000 for monthly support. I was very pleased to find out that my budget is only going to be $1,600 a month and a start-up cash budget of $3,700! Thank you Jesus!... Right now I'm working on finishing up my support letters and spreading the word through Facebook, although it's being temperamental at the moment and won't let me invite any of friends to the page I created! Gotta love technology. . .

I'm going to be using the blog for a monthly support letter system as well... As soon as I get all my information about fund-raising and whatnot I'll be posting the first support letter... I'm hoping people will use the blog/facebook/e-mail to communicate with because it saves a lot of money and is a lot more convenient!

I'm really excited to finally get started with the fund-raising and preparing to go. Even though it's basically a year away, I know it will go by fast!
