Hey everyone!
Welcome to my blog, update #2! This week I got the opportunity to set up my website to keep you all up to date AND I got my first set of shots! I am now protected from hepatitis A, and yellow fever! I still have to update my tetanus but then i'm done! I also received my prescription for antimalarials which I will be taking while I am over there.
Another thing that happened this week is I officially started fundraising! I received my first donation! I am very excited to see in what ways God is going to provide all the funds I need and I pray you will consider being part of Gods provision. I currently have $500 of the $3700 I need to make this trip possible. I am required to have $1000 in by this saturday so if you currently want to support me I would ask you to do that asap. Also if you are currently unable to support me but plan to in the future, I would love it if you would send me a message letting me know.
I am hoping to have a few fundraisers over the next few months and here is the first one that I get to be a part of! (And you can too!)! If you live in or around Edmonton I have a exciting opportunity for you! Souls of the feet is hosting their annual world tour gala on april 26! The night will consist of unique cultural elements from the countries that they are currently serving in, great food, a silent action, wonderful entertainment and good company (Thats me!) ! Tickets are $65 and that Includes all food and entertainment for the night. Its a fun night to dress up, learn about other cultures and to support me and my team. Also for every ticket you purchase off of me, $50 goes straight toward my trip. That means that you are actually donation $50 and then paying $15 for a fun night. If you are interested in this at all, feel free to contact me for more information! I would love for you to be a part of the celebration and for you to learn more about the culture of Burundi!
Thank you for making it to the end of blog post #2! Please continue to pray for me along every step of this journey!
