These last few weeks have been both busy and exciting! It seems to all be coming together so quickly!

I've reached 90%

I have 100% of the absolute minimum needed to go—it does not include any costs relating to a vehicle, which accounts for the final 10%. That being said, I am still hoping for the continued funds to come in for the purchase of a car. That only is about $175 a month and the up-front purchase price of the car itself.

I’ll also be making a couple big purchases in the next week. First, I’m buying my plane ticket to Nairobi! Also, I’m purchasing a new computer—mine is from college and is especially susceptible to viruses transmitted over the internet in Kenya. I also just purchased Rosetta Stone for Kiswahili, the national language of Kenya. That will give me a little head-start on the language-learning process.

We held my Open House at the church last weekend—it was a whole lot of work, but totally worth it. It was a 1920’s-British-Colonial-Safari-themed party and we had a great turnout! I was very encouraged by the more than 50 people that attended. God used it to both encourage and provide for me.

Thank you to everyone that came and everyone that helped before and after!

One last thing: I’ve made Wish Lists with two online stores. They include ministry-related items like Bible Study books, reference materials and necessary techie gadgets. They also have a few things that are more for personal use! Feel free to check them out if you are interested in helping me in this way!
