Fundraising update and stuff

The week after spring break is always a little crazy. It seems that teachers realize they actually need to start putting in grades so they over-load you on homework and make you take lots of quizzes, which is a rude awakening coming back from a week of no school.  Not cool. Not fun.

Almost everyday I receive a donation card in the mail saying that someone has given me 50, 100 or 500 dollars. This has been one of the most encouraging and humbling experiences- watching people give and commit to praying for me.
Marty Smith has been putting together a garage sale to help with the fundraising. This will take place at my house on April 7 from 7- 12. People have been dropping off donations for the past week and as my house fills up with clothes, toys, books, tv's, ect, I cannot help but feel totally blessed.

Along with sending letters, I will be going to many different churches to talk about what the Lord will be doing through me in Austria. (Slightly nervous to this but I'm sure it'll be fine)

I'm praying that God will provide $48,000 and patience as I watch Him do is work.


Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
