AFRICA!!!!

:) i don't wanna be all wordy and boring so this is my revised version of a support letter.


here's the deal, God's amazing!!! and i have the opportunity to go to one of the poorest, sickest, scariest, most beautiful places on earth! yes, indeed, AFRICA!!! swaziland to be exact.




right now my plan is to be with the refuge, elevate, sports team in august! how amazing is that?!!!! we're going to get to work on building a well so that parts of the community can have clean water! we'll get to do a day camp with some of the swazi teenagers!! YESSSSS!!! (which will include some sports activities and a lot of other fun stuff...and we may get to bring some of those kids on an outreach to their own community- teaching them leadership skills...WORLD CHANGING SKILLS!!) and who knows what else God has planned for this trip?!!!! ah!!!! it's so cool to think about.

what i'm super excited about is refuge getting to be part of it. seriously you guys have no clue how passionate some of these students have been about reaching this continent. and it's not just a whim either. for an entire year (for some even longer) all i've heard some of them talk about is "when are we going to africa?!!!", "what's the plan for africa?", "how can i get on the team?" and the creative ideas everyone has for raising funds! these kids are working their tails off, using all their creativity, and doing anything and everything they can to raise support. it's so awesome to see their eagerness to reach the nations!!!!

ahhh!!!!!!

i'm so pumped.

and this is the part where i try to word it just so- so that i don't sound like i'm begging for money and what not. but not this year...

i need $3,800! and so does everyone else going. so please pray about it and help if you can.

and even if you can't, i need prayer more than money!!!!!!!!!!! so pray til your tongue falls off!!!!!!


thank you all soooo soooo sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
