I hope all of you had a great long weekend...I sure did!
Wonderful, praise-worthy news...I have exceeded my fund raising goal of $4700!!!! WOW!
Thanks are in order to ALL of you, and of course to Jesus, through which all things are absolutely possible! There is no other way that that money could have come my way.
Right now I am in full-on preperation mode...there is still so much to do before hand! I got all my shots, finished taking my typhoid meds, and am starting my malaria meds next week. I have my last day of work coming up this Saturday, and my last day of interning at the Ravalli Republic newspaper in Hamilton, MT (until I come back) on the 2nd. I still have some supply shopping to do, lots of reading, preparing short bible discussions, sermons, and stories, among other things...oh yeah, and I have to move out of my room so my subletter can move in! WHEW!
Please continue to pray, pray without ceasing as God calls us to! I have a lot to do, but of course God will take care of me if I continue to trust in Him. Have a blessed week everyone!

Moving right along!
In less than a month, I will be in Africa....oh my goodness!
Everything has been falling into place by the grace of God. I got all of my shots (ouch) and my prescriptions for malaria and typhoid. And, not by chance, the money from the art show and the rummage sale was just enough to cover that! What a blessing.
I also want to thank Florence Carlton Community Church, and their missions committee for their continued support and prayers. I come from such an amazing place, and am so thankful to call FCCC the place where my faith began.
Well I'm off to tackle my last final, then I will be done with my junior year of college! WOW.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers and thoughts.
Love and Blessings,
Bess
