8.20 Thursday After

I am crazy excited, and get the hot nervous belly when I think of going to Ecuador.  As the time gets closer, I know I am going to get so hyped up.

I pray for everyone who is possibly going to Ecuador.  

I need to write to Jean Pierre and Jeremy to let them know I am coming.  Hopefully they will receive the letters in time for my arrival!

I turned in my application to Larry on Tuesday.  I really need to start the fundraising process.  I was thinking of creating a Facebook Event or Facebook Page... not sure which one would work better.  

Some crazy God-things happened on Sunday and Monday that told me God is saying - "Don't worry - I got you".  I am so much less stressed about money.  I am just excited now.  I know there are tangible things I need to do to prepare but I feel that God's got this :)

Ta-ta for now!

Decision Made 8.16.15

Heya,

We had the first meeting a week ago Sunday, August 9th.  I was mostly on the fence about it but knew I wanted to go.  The biggest hiccup I ever have is money.  When I did my first mission trip two years ago, I remember having many conversations with Lindsay (and others) about letting money be the least of your worries.  At this point, it is my only worry.  That should be a good thing!!

So I decided yesterday that I am going (which happens to be the same date I came back from Ecuador two years ago).  Now that I have made the decision, I need all my ducks in a row.  That's how I am, weirdly.  I take a while to make the final decision then I have to have things planned right away :)

I am going to create a Facebook event, or possibly Fan Page, so please keep on the lookout for that and feel free to invite anyone!

Ta-ta for now!

Amanda
