The dates have finally been set for the Nomad trips to South Africa in 2010. I will be leaving February 1st and returning on November 16th!
Today I got started on my visa paperwork, which has turned out to be quite confusing! But, with some help from the people at OneHope, and maybe the study abroad office here at K-State, hopefully I can get it filled out in the next couple of days. I've already set my Dr. appointments for check-ups and travel consults.
The second round of letters were sent out yesterday, I will be speaking at my sisters' church on September 13th, and maybe at my home church youth group that night. I will also be speaking at my church here in Manhattan sometime soon... It seems like things are progressing nicely and it's starting to feel a little bit more real!
My fund-raising total at this point is around $2,650... I may need more than the original $12,000 due to medical costs, but we will have to wait and see about that.
That's about it for now I think, thank you again for your continued prayers and support!

End Of The Summer Update
Hello everyone,
Well, as you can see it's been a while since I've made a post, but it's been a busy summer which is sadly coming to an end. I just finished my internship at Longwood Gardens and I am already missing everyone there! It's been a great summer :).... Right now I'm staying with my parents for a few days before I head back to Manhattan to do my LAST semester of college! YAY!
I'm thrilled to report that God has supplied me with $2,500 for my trip so far! It's really been incredible to see how He has been a faithful provider!
Today I wrote another support letter that I will be sending out shortly, I also made some prayer card reminders to send with the letters.... I'm working some fundraising ideas, such as selling some of my photos from this summer, and doing some child care date nights at my church in Manhattan, I'll keep you all posted on that as the plans become more solid.... I'm also need to start working on getting my visa. January is coming up faster and faster and, but it still doesn't quite seem real to me. I think it's not really going to until I'm on a plane headed to Florida for training!
Please continue to keep in your prayers. Thank you all so much for your support, and if you have any fundraising ideas I'm open to hearing them!
