Almost Gone

Hi guys! Welcome to my first official blog.  I plan on updating this every week (at least) in order keep you up to date with everything that's going on with our mission in Mexico.  So here goes nothing:

Well, September is finally here. I've been planning my return to Puebla, Mexico for the past 14 months- plenty of time, right? Those of you who know me know that I rarely am able to make a plan, much less actually follow through with it, so it should come as no surprise that once again I have deviated from schedule.  As of now, I am still in the States for another month or so while raising the remainder of my support.  I have about another $5,000 to raise, so I'm grounded November 1st for the present time.  Although disappointed, I know that the Lord has a plan far greater than any I could fabricate so remembering that, I'm at peace with where I am.  I wanted to thank you for your prayers for my mission, my safety, and the remainder of my support coming in.

Of the three of us girls from the US who have been raising support over the summer, one of us (Marnie, far right in the picture below) has reached full support and is leaving October 1st headed to Puebla to begin our ministry.  I would ask you to pray for her safety in travelling and for her to be strengthened with the Spirit in order to go alone to jump-start this opportunity.  I'll keep you updated on when I will be joining her.  Thanks again for the support and prayers. I couldn't have gotten this far without you.
The Four Amigos- me, Joe (Virginia), Erica (Michigan), and Marnie (Washington state)
