An Update

Right after MK Camp, in August, I started looking around and praying to see what God wanted me to do next. As I prayed I realized that God was telling me to take time to raise the support I needed and not to dig into any more major projects for the moment. Reminding me that most missionaries take many months, and sometimes years, to raise their support before they even move to the mission field. So I took His advice and had been mostly working on finding supporter that are willing to help me in funds and/or prayers. That being said I have also worked on, and helped with, a few smaller projects. 

Last month I helped a missionary, named Teri, with a women's conference, specifically for Honduran pastor's wife, that she had planned and organized. Plus I have been working on planning a few things for next year's MK Camp and buying stuff that is needed to put on a container my parents are planning on shipping down from Maryland. With these few projects and the fund raising I have kept pretty busy.

My schedule for the next few week is also a bit hectic. My 18 year old, baby sister Boo needs to have her tonsils removed, and since the medical care in their area is very poor, my parents want to send her to a missionary run hospital on the other side of the country. There is a team of ears, nose and throat specialists going to be at that hospital next week, but my parents are so busy right now with all of their ministries that they can't take her. So they have asked me if I'd be willing to help them out by taking Boo there myself.

A few days after my trip with Boo, my mother, older brother and I are heading to Guatemala for a week long missionary conference hosted by our organization, the Foundation for Missions. There I will receive my official orientation given to me by someone from the office and I will hopefully also enjoy the conference.   

A week after the conference Cindy, who came down here to cook for MK Camp, is coming down again to do her annual shopping and prep trip for a women's conference she cooks for. I have offered to help her with this shopping trip (in Nov.) and the women's conference which is in January.

In between all of these events I have to continue raising support, keeping up on the laundry, looking/praying for a new apartment and figuring out the dates for next year's MK Camp. So if you could pray for my sanity and safe travels I would appreciate it. ;)
