I know many people have probably wondered
why I would want to go somewhere else this summer. But after Nicaragua there
wasn’t any question to me that Nicaragua was going to be the end of my mission
trips. On the car ride back home after Nicaragua I was already looking at trips
for this summer. Through months of praying God has led me to Uganda, Africa for
23 days this summer! When I first signed up to go my dad told me he thought it
was a lovely idea for me to want to go, but in reality it was going to be nearly
impossible to get over $4,000 to go. (He’s such a realist.) Shortly after I was
accepted I once again started fund raising, and at some moments I feel like I
have begged a little, but all the same I have seen God work in ways I never
could have imagine. First, after
months of looking for a job, and 18 applications later God provided me with a
job where I get far more than enough hours! Which means more money for Uganda!
I sold shirts, which I ended up selling 40 making around $500 off of them. And then
there were also pure donations. It has been incredible seeing how God has
provided once again! With one month and 20 days left until I fly out, I have
all my money, plus the money needed to fly Georgia, and money for the necessary
shots I need to be able to enter the country!
I would like to thank every
single person who has made this possible for me to go! I feel honored that God
has called me again to go!
